USD Ranked No 7 Military Friendly School
USD was ranked no. 7 overall in the tier two research universities category. The ranking analyzed academic policies and compliance, admissions and orientations, culture and commitment and military student support and retention among a variety of measurements.
The Military Friendly Schools list seeks to measure a university’s commitment to providing not only opportunities for veterans, but those that lead to better outcomes.
Now in its 16th year, the Military Friendly Schools list provides a comprehensive guide for veterans and their families using data sources from federal agencies, veteran students and proprietary survey information from participating organizations.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey completed by the school. For the first time, student survey data was taken into consideration for the designation. More than 1,300 schools participated in the 2017-2018 survey with 849 earning the designation.
