Criteria, ratings methods
Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Mediaโs proprietary survey. More than 1,600 schools participated in the 2017 survey and 1,160 were awarded the designation.
Ratings methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by Victory Media with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institutionโs survey scores with the assessment of the institutionโs ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.
