Empire State College received an award for programs benefiting military veterans\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Military Times magazine, a Gannett publication,
\nhas included SUNY Empire State
\nCollege, based in Saratoga Springs, among
\nits “Best for Vets: Colleges 2015.”<\/p>\n

Highlighted in the online and nontraditional
\ncategory, the college has been recognized
\neach year since the magazine first
\nbegan publishing Best for Vets five years ago.<\/p>\n

This honor noted several specific features
\nof the college including: low in-state undergraduate
\nand graduate tuition and waiving
\nmost fees for veterans and active-duty military;
\naward-winning Office of Veteran and
\nMilitary Education; low student-faculty ratio
\nand strong support staff; and acceptance
\nof academic credit for military training
\nrecommended by the American Council on
\nEducation.<\/p>\n

“Five consecutive years of inclusion in
\nMilitary Times’ Best for Vets is a tribute to
\nthe college’s faculty, staff and, most of all,
\nto the students themselves,” said Merodie A.
\nHancock, president of SUNY Empire State
\nCollege. “Educating and supporting veteran
\nand active-duty military students is not just
\na source of great pride, it’s how the college
\ncommunity expresses its appreciation to
\nthese remarkable students.”<\/p>\n

“We factor in what is, to our knowledge,
\nthe most detailed school-by-school data on
\nveteran students’ academic success anywhere,”
\nsaid Amanda Miller, editor of Best
\nfor Vets. “Two years ago, only 11 percent
\nof the hundreds of schools surveyed could
\nprovide that level of detail. This year, that
\nfigure is up to 45 percent. By recognizing
\nonly the schools that do the most, we believe
\nwe’re helping to raise the bar in veteran
\nstudent services.”<\/p>\n

In addition to strengths listed by Military
\nTimes, the college supports veterans and
\nmembers of the military community through
\neducation partnerships with all branches
\nof the military; Credit Where Credit is Due:
\nVeteran and Service Member Pathway to
\nthe MBA; graduate certificate in veterans services;
\nand Student Veterans and Military
\nClub.<\/p>\n

Best for Vets provides servicemen and
\nservicewomen a gauge to help determine if a
\nschool or degree program will benefit them.
\nThe rankings factored in service member
\nenrollments, percentage of tuition covered
\nby the GI Bill and availability of specific
\nprograms to help service members.<\/p>\n
