Jefferson College of Health Sciences Named a 2019-20 Military Friendly School
Jefferson College of Health Sciences has been named a 2019-20 Military Friendly® School by VIQTORY, the leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian worlds, and publisher of G.I. Jobs® magazine. This is the seventh consecutive year Jefferson College has received this recognition.
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.
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.
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.
“We are honored and excited to receive this recognition for the seventh straight year,” said Jefferson College President Dr. Nathaniel L. Bishop. “Jefferson College of Health Sciences is making a concerted effort to welcome veteran and active military students and their families with specific resources designed to meet their needs. We are dedicated to helping our veteran and active military students succeed during their time as a student and Jefferson College and beyond.”
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.
