Apollos University Selected As A Top Military-friendly School In Military Advanced Education's 2014 Guide To Military-friendly Colleges & Universities
Apollos University has been recognized as a Top Military-Friendly University in the 2014 Guide to Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities by Military Advanced Education (MAE).
- (1888PressRelease) January 29, 2014 - HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA - Military Advanced Education (MAE) has awarded Apollos University the designation of a Top Military-Friendly University in its 2014 Guide to Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities, just released in print, and available online at www.mae-kmi.com.
From community colleges to state universities, online universities and nationally known centers of higher learning, MAE's 2014 Guide to Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities provides potential students with information about institutions that go out of their way to give back to our men and women in uniform.
Among the attributes considered in evaluating this year's institution for inclusion in the Guide are the flexibility of online learning options, extent of transfer credits accepted by degree level, on-campus ROTC, Servicemember Opportunity Colleges (SOC) participation, on-campus active duty/veteran assistance, the support provided to the families of servicemembers, faculty trained in veteran reintegration issues, presence on military installations, and full-time counselors trained in veteran-specific mental health concerns, to name but a few.
"Our staff used strict criteria to evaluate the submissions of the respondents, and we had a record number of schools participating this year. We believe the Guide serves as an invaluable tool for both education services officers and transition officers when advising servicemembers about their educational opportunities," said Kelly Fodel, MAE's editor.
"I encourage students and ESOs to check out our searchable database online," Fodel said. "We designed this database with the military student in mind. We want to help them make informed choices, so we are giving them access to all the survey questions and answers provided by the schools, as well as explanations about critical issues like the schools' activation and deployment policies, withdrawal policies, scholarship and financial aid information and important support information."
"We could not be happier to have Apollos recognized in this way because serving the educational needs of the military has been one of our key value drivers since the founding of our university," said Dr. Paul Eidson, President and CEO of Apollos University. Eidson continued, "As a veteran myself, I feel we have an obligation to provide this type of exceptional educational experience for the brave men and women of our country. Additionally, we have hired many veterans from all branches of the service to pursue their civilian careers as distinguished faculty members for the university. We believe they have a great story to tell and can purposefully guide and influence the minds of future leaders across the world.
These faculty members are just one more part of how we create the Apollos Experience for all of our students."
