MICUA Matters Fall 2011
Five MICUA schools have been deemed “military friendly” by G.I. Jobs magazine in its latest issue. Capitol College, Hood College, Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, McDaniel College, and Stevenson University all made the grade. According to the magazine, institutions that earned a place on the list of Military Friendly Schools have gone the extra mile to reach out to military students and provide the best programs and policies to help them succeed.
Schools are rated on a number of measures, including discounted tuition for military and dependents, generous transfer credit policies, dedicated veteran counselors and staff, special policies for deployments, student veteran groups, flexible attendance and scheduling options, and participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
All MICUA member institutions participate in the Yellow Ribbon program except Sojourner-Douglass College, which maintains tuition that is low enough to be fully reimbursed through the Act without need for the Yellow Ribbon enhancements. This remarkable level of participation by Maryland independent colleges and universities demonstrates their commitment to serving veterans.
