QCC Earns Military Friendly® School Silver Designation

Quinsigamond Community College has earned the 2022-2023 Military Friendly® School silver level designation.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2022-2023 survey with 665 earning special awards for going above the standard. As a silver level award winner, QCC’s Veteran Affairs program scored within 30 percent of the 10th-ranked institution within a given category.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

“Military Friendly® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process. Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the military community,” said National Director of Military Partnerships Kayla Lopez. “Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, going over and above that standard.”
