When the MAE team began this endeavor months ago, our number one priority was that we evaluate schools in light of the unique needs of soldier and veteran students. In this effort, we sought the expertise of ESOs across the services for their guidance and comprehensive understanding of what constitutes a truly military-friendly institution. To the military education professionals who assisted us in formulating our submission questionnaire, MAE thanks you. As the new editor of MAE, I personally would like to thank those of you who spent time explaining the intricacies of ACE credits, for example, and discussing the needs of the military education community in general. You have all helped ensure that MAE’s 2012 Guide to Top Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities is one that is inspired by a true understanding of our servicemembers’ needs and promotes the interests of our servicemembers. Thanks to you we are confident that we can stand behind our Guide to Top Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities as a resource designed for our nation’s servicemembers and informed by those in the best position to assist them in their academic pursuits.
A few words on our process. Any higher education institution that wished to be considered for the Guide filled out a submission questionnaire, which was then evaluated by our judging panel. It is important to note that we could only evaluate the information that was provided; the onus for disclosure was on the institution. Also, if an institution isn’t listed it does not necessarily mean they are unfriendly toward military students; it may be because they did not submit an application. If an institution is described as offering “none,” it means that of the questions we asked pertaining to that category of support, the institution responded that they did not provide the specific services we highlighted. It does not mean that they fail to offer service across the board. Most institutions offer more support services than we list since we can only present a finite amount of information in our printed Guide. For more details on an institution’s policies, I encourage you to explore our searchable database on MAE’s website. Also on the site is our submission form so that you can learn more about the questions we posed to institutions.
All institutions were judged based on the same criteria; we did not judge private, public, for-profit, not-for-profit, four-year or two-year colleges separately. This decision was based on a belief that regardless of size or degrees granted there are efforts that any institution can make to better serve those who have served the nation. In this sense, I am sincerely impressed by the initiatives of some schools that choose—because it is a choice—to enact academic, support and financial aid policies that favor our servicemembers and facilitate their educational pursuits. For schools who submitted but were not selected for the Guide, I hope that institutions included here can serve as examples of what the education field can do to better support the educational pursuits of servicemembers. There is always room for improvement—including in this Guide—and I believe that we can all do more to ensure that servicemembers receive the support they deserve.
Please remember that this Guide is a resource and not a comprehensive ruling on all schools; it should be used in conjunction with professional military education counselors available to you. I urge you to be active participants in your education and informed consumers of your degree. A degree is a significant investment but one that will pay dividends if selected wisely and pursued with a seriousness of purpose.
