PROVIDENCE – Seven colleges and universities in Rhode Island have earned 2017 Military Friendly School designations by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs, Military Spouse and other military publications.

The following schools were recognized: Brown University, Johnson & Wales University, New England Institute of Technology, Providence College School of Continuing Education, Rhode Island College, Salve Regina University and the University of Rhode Island.
In addition, Empire Beauty School in Warwick was deemed eligible for the designation.

Military Friendly Schools, first published in 2009, is a resource for veterans pursuing higher education.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from Victory Media’s proprietary survey.
More than 1,700 schools participated in the 2017 survey; 1,273 were awarded the designation. 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 search assistance, loan repayment, persistence and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

Many employers contact the Career Services Office at New England Institute of Technology seeking graduates for job opportunities, according to a news release about the designation from NEIT.
