MBA Program Among Military Times’ “Best for Vets: Business Schools 2015”

Military Times magazine, a Gannett publication, has included SUNY Empire State College’s School for Graduate Studies MBA program among its “Best for Vets: Business Schools 2015.”
The college’s MBA program has been included each year in the Best for Vets Business Schools category since Military Times began publishing its list three years ago.
This honor noted several specific features of the college and its MBA program, including:

• low in-state graduate tuition and the waiving of most fees for veterans and active-duty military
• an overall culture supportive of veterans and members of the military
• award-winning Office of Veteran and Military Education
• academic support
• acceptance of academic credit for military training recommended by the American Council on Education.

“Veteran students and those students on active duty have specific needs in terms of support and the flexibility to learn where and when it suits their lives,” said Merodie A. Hancock, president of the college. “The college’s veteran and military students are frequently adults with families. They learn differently than an 18-year-old high school graduate. SUNY Empire’s 40-year record of success with adult and nontraditional students and the quality of the MBA program is reflected by Military Times’ Best for Vets annual surveys.”
Military Times’ story, methodology and the complete list of those institutions selected for this honor are available here.
In addition to strengths listed by Military Times, the college supports veterans and members of the military community through:

• education partnerships with all branches of the military
• Credit Where Credit is Due: Veteran and Service Member Pathway to the MBA
• Graduate Certificate in Veterans Services
• Student Veterans and Military Club.
