Baker earns the Silver Award for 2022-23 from Military Friendly Schools

Baker University has again been named a military friendly university for veterans and this year achieved the silver level. The designation from Military Friendly Schools recognizes the strength of the benefits the university offers veterans.

“Baker University is proud to serve military students for the work they do in class and the service they provide to our country. It is an honor to help these students navigate their educational journey and further prepare them to directly impact the workforce,” said Dr. Matthew Bice, dean of the School of Professional and Graduate Studies. “Baker University has a rich history of assisting military students, and we are excited to be recognized.”

The ​Military Friendly ​Schools list has come to set the standard for higher education institutions that provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. This list, organized by VIQTORY, provides a comprehensive guide for veterans and their families using data sources from federal agencies and proprietary survey information from participating organizations.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly​​ Advisory Council, made up 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.
