St. Cloud Technical & Community College has been named to the Military Times’ 2023 Best for Vets: College list. Military Times Best for Vets: Colleges is the largest and most comprehensive annual ranking of schools for military service members and veterans.
“SCTCC’s inclusion on the Military Times’ list informs veterans that SCTCC is ensuring our service members and their families feel welcome and have an easy transition to civilian life,” said Heidi Smith, advisor to the Student Veterans of America Club. “The College has and will continue to support veterans and military members by offering resources, shared spaces, and personal assistance.”
The Military Times survey is sent to colleges and universities across the nation asking about their programs for veterans. The results are then analyzed, along with public data about colleges and universities obtained from the Department of Education and Department of Veterans Affairs, and turned into an official ranking.
The methodology for the rankings is based on quantitative data and includes student success metrics, admissions, resources, human resources, financials, and recordkeeping. In 2023, 325 higher education institutions made the list, which includes public, private, and for-profit universities and colleges at the four- and two-year levels.
SCTCC is one of three Minnesota institutions that made the list and one of two Minnesota State colleges. The 2023 rankings can be found on the Best for Vets website.
“Our comprehensive survey and thoughtful methodology make our rankings best in class” said Mike Gruss, editor-in-chief at Sightline Media Group, parent company of Military Times.
SCTCC is regularly listed on the Best for Vets lists and offers supports and services specifically for military veterans and their families. Additionally, SCTCC is a Yellow Ribbon Company, which shows that key areas within a company structure create a network that proactively supports servicemembers and military families.
