“Military Advanced Education & Transition” (MAE&T) magazine has awarded UNMC the designation of a Top School in its 2016 Guide to Colleges & Universities, measuring best practices in military and veteran education.
The guide was released late this December, and is available online here.
The guide presents results of a questionnaire of the military-supportive policies enacted at more than 600 institutions. MAE&T’s 2016 Guide to Colleges & Universities arms students with information about institutions that go out of their way to give back to our men and women in uniform.
Institutions were evaluated on their military culture, financial aid, flexibility, general support, on-campus support and online support services. Each school’s performance rating by category is represented by an easy-to-recognize dashboard. This enables prospective students to quickly target schools that follow best practices in military education, and then put these in context with other academic or career considerations.
“We are delighted that UNMC has once again been recognized for our strong efforts to make our university very accessible to veterans seeking educational opportunities in health care professions,” said Dele Davies, M.D., vice chancellor of academic affairs. “We will continue to work hard to ensure the continued vitality of the experiences of our veterans here at UNMC.”
The guide is available in the December issue of Military Advanced Education & Transition and also vi a searchable online database. Students will have access to all the survey questions and answers provided by the schools, as well as explanations about critical issues like activation and deployment policies, withdrawal policies, scholarship and financial aid information and important support information.
