Survey editors evaluate the many factors that help make colleges and universities a good fit for service members, military veterans, and their families. Colleges and universities are asked to disclose academic outcome and input data, describe many aspects of veteran culture on campus and meticulously document a wide array of services, special policies, accommodations, and financial incentives offered to students with military ties.
Military Times also factors in data from the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments, as well as three Education Department sources: the IPEDS Data Center, College Scorecard data, and the Cohort Default Rate Database.
This focus and concern proves to me that ECPI University will always do what it takes to ensure these students have the resources they need to reach their goals.
