Pitt-Bradford was named a Top 10 Military Friendly school

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford was named a Top 10 Military Friendly School among small public universities.

The Viqtory Media list, now in its 13th year, uses data sources from federal agencies and proprietary survey information from participating organizations to help provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. Pitt-Bradford has been recognized for 13 consecutive years, though this is the first time the regional campus has earned the Top 10 designation for embracing military students and their families.

Final ratings were determined by combining survey scores with an assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for retention, graduation, degree advancement or transfer, job placement, loan repayment and loan default rates for all students as well as for student veterans specifically.

“The Military Friendly School designation is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of many different offices and people at Pitt-Bradford who actively help returning veterans and their dependents to be successful in their pursuit of higher education,” said James Baldwin, vice president of enrollment management at Pitt-Bradford.

Support at Pitt-Bradford for veterans includes academic coaching and tutoring, disability resources, writing and mathematics centers, an academic advising center, and career and counseling services.

The 2023-24 Military Friendly Schools list will be published in the May and October issues of G.I. Jobs magazine.
