®National Park College (NPC) announced today that it has earned the 2021-2022 Military
Friendly® School designation.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using
both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,200 schools
participated in the 2021-2022 survey with 747 earning the designation.
The 2021-2022 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May issue of
G.I. Jobs magazine and can 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 response set and government/agency public data sources, within
a logic based scoring assessment. Each institution is measured on their 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.
“We are honored to once again be given the Military Friendly School Designation. Our
veterans are a valuable asset to our campus and community. Nathan Looper, our Veteran
Affairs Coordinator, does an excellent job of serving our veteran students. NPC makes
serving all of our students a priority, this designation is satisfying and we look
forward to continuing this high level of service to our veterans in particular,” said
Jason Hudnell, dean of enrollment.
“Military Friendly® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data driven
standards in our designation process. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages
colleges to consistently evolve and invest in their programs. Schools who achieve
designation show true commitment and dedication in their efforts. Our standards assist
schools by providing a benchmark that promotes positive educational outcomes, resources,
and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity
for the Military Community,” said Kayla Lopez, National Director of Military Partnerships,
Military Friendly®.
