The Nation's Top Military Friendly® Schools Announced and CBT College is on the list!

MIAMI - March 13, 2019 - PRLog -- Continuing its mission to provide veterans and their spouses with the finest choices for post-secondary education, VIQTORY has released the 2019-2020 Military Friendly​®​Schools list. Now in its 10​^th year, the Military Friendly® Schools list has come to set the standard for higher education institutions to provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. This prestigious list provides a comprehensive guide for veterans and their families using data sources from federal agencies and proprietary survey information from participating organizations.

"At CBT College we are thrilled by this announcement. Since 2009, we have been making it to the list without fault. We're humbled by it, considering how much in exchange we have received from our veterans", said Luis Llerena, the Business Development director and US Army veteran himself.

Monica Llerena, CBT's Chief Executive Officer also commented that the college has been educating and supporting America's military personnel and veteran community for many years since its foundation in 1988. "The CBT College is proud to offer active duty personnel in the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard; Active Reserve members; members of the National Guard; veterans honorably discharged and their spouses and dependents, with the right academic opportunities designed to fill the gap in the current job market, and to provide the right training for a real-world career success", she added.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly​®​ School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey completed by the school. This year 766 schools earned this prestigious designation.

The 2019-2020 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine. The list can also be found at ​www.militaryfriendly.com​.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by VIQTORY 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 institution's survey scores with the assessment of the institution's ability to meet thresholds for Student Retention, Graduation, Job Placement, Loan Repayment, Persistence (Degree Advancement or Transfer) and Loan Default Rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.
