The National Graduate School Named to Victory Media’s 2015 Military Friendly® Schools List

FALMOUTH, Mass. - Oct. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- The National Graduate School of Quality Management (NGS) is pleased to announce that it has been designated a 2015 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 resource for post-military success. Military Friendly® provides service members 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® Schools 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.

NGS President and CEO, Clint Miner, Ph.D. said, “As a 22 year vet, I understand the challenges our service men and women and their families face trying to balance service to our country, taking care of their families, and pursuing their education.   The OPTEMPO of our military today is staggering. We are pleased to be recognized as a Military Friendly School for the fourth consecutive year. However, for me and the NGS staff and faculty, it is not about the recognition. This reflects our commitment to supporting the education goals of our military men and women who sacrifice so much so that we can enjoy our precious freedoms.”

The survey captures over 50 leading practices in supporting military students and is available free of charge to the more than 8,000 schools approved for Post-9/11 GI Bill funding.
