IBMC College Named to Victory Media’s 2015 Military Friendly® Schools’ List

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Sept. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- IBMC College announced today that it has been designated a Military Friendly® School by Victory Media, the leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian worlds.

Now in its sixth year, the Military Friendly® Schools designation and list by Victory Media is the premier, trusted source for post-military success.  Military Friendly® provides service members with transparent, data-driven ratings about post-military education and career opportunities.

The Military Friendly® Schools’ designation is awarded to the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation.  The methodology used for making the Military Friendly® list has changed the student veteran landscape to one much more transparent, and has played a significant role over the past six years in capturing and advancing best practices to support military students across the country.

“IBMC College is proud to have received this honor.  Our caring staff and faculty are extremely devoted to providing life-changing career training to military and civilian students at our campuses in Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming,” stated Steve Steele, CEO, IBMC College.

The survey captures over 50 leading practices in supporting military students and is available free of charge to more than 8,000 schools approved for Post-9/11 GI Bill funding.  As in past years, the 2015 Military Friendly® Schools’ results were independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP based upon the weightings and methodology developed by Victory Media with input by its independent Academic Advisory Board.
