To compile the rankings, the organization comprising Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times used an 80-question analysis of a school’s complete offerings for veterans.

“We appreciate the recognition of our efforts to help veterans achieve their goals through university education,” Phillip Morris, director, Office of Veteran and Military Student Affairs, said. “We take pride supporting veterans holistically and are gratified that our own College of Business is recognized as outstanding when it comes to serving military members and veterans.”

The rankings are published in the February issue of Military Times EDGE magazine, and online at MilitaryTimes.com, as well as ArmyTimes.com, NavyTimes.com, AirForceTimes.com and MarineCorpsTimes.com.
