Virginia Beach, VA – ECPI University is pleased to announce it has been designated a 2022-23 Military Friendly® School, with a Silver ranking in the Non Traditional Schools category by VIQTORY Media, the publisher of G.I. Jobs®, STEM JobsSM and Military Spouse.

The Military Friendly® Schools designation provides service members and their families with transparent, data-driven ratings about post-military education and career opportunities. 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 this year’s survey.

“Being named a Military Friendly® School means we have the programs, policies and standards that military and veteran students are looking for,” says ECPI University Executive Director of Military Education Bill Brown, a former Army Officer himself. “Our university has a deep respect and admiration for all our military, veterans and their dependents have experienced. That’s why ECPI University faculty, and our support staff, stand ready to help our military students find success in the classroom.” 

The 2022-2023 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May and October 2022 issues of G.I. Jobs® magazine and can be found at www.militaryfriendly.com.
