Rutgers Business School came in #4 in the “Best for Vets” list published by Military Times. These rankings collected responses from some 140 colleges and universities. The organization comprising Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times focused on universities that cater to the culture and curriculum of veterans when conducting and scoring the second annual survey.
Military Times highly respected, 80-question analysis of a school’s complete offerings for veterans scored schools’ survey responses to both its business schools survey and to parts of its colleges survey based on what veterans have said is important to them as well as applying its own editorial judgment. Military Times also factored in Education Department statistics commonly used to track student success and academic quality.
“As with all of the Best for Vets rankings, Best for Vets: Business Schools is an editorially independent news project that evaluates the many factors that make an institution a good fit for military veterans,” said Amanda Miller, editor of Military Times EDGE magazine.
Overall, schools were evaluated in five categories: university culture, student support, academic outcomes and quality, academic policies, and cost and financial aid. The value of each section was comparable, but university culture and student support counted the most, and financial aid counted the least.
Rutgers stand out thanks to its student veteran organization and its supporters based out of Rutgers’ Newark Campus. In addition to that, Rutgers New Brunswick has strong resources as well for veterans at Rutgers. You can read about one vet who earned an MBA from Rutgers here.
