Montclair State University Named a "Military Friendly School"

A magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life has awarded Montclair State University the designation of "Military Friendly School."

The 2012 Military Friendly Schools list in G.I. Jobs magazine acknowledges the top 20 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students.

“We are pleased to receive this distinctive designation for the third year in a row,” said Denise Rodak, coordinator of Veteran and Military Resources at Montclair State University.  “Montclair State is committed to providing veterans and service members with a holistic, educational experience that includes academic, social, and wellness programs.”

Montclair State provides current and prospective military students with key programs such as a new student orientation program, a credited, college-level Academic Success Seminar, and a Stress Relief Through the Creative Arts workshop to assist with their transition to higher education.

The 1,518 colleges, universities, and trade schools on this year’s list prioritize the recruitment of students with military experience.  These schools offer scholarships and discounts, veterans’ clubs, full-time staff, military credit and other services to those who served. The 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools ® was compiled with the assistance of the Academic Advisory Board. AAB members can be found at http://militaryfriendlyschools.com/Article/advisory-board/.
