ECPI University Earns #1 National Ranking as Best for Vets
Honor Marks 8 Straight Years on Best for Vets List

Virginia Beach, VA – ECPI University is pleased to announce it has been ranked number one in the nation by Military Times in its annual Best for Vets survey – the most comprehensive school-by-school assessment of veteran and military student services and rates of academic achievement – as well as a detailed review of public data collected by federal agencies. More than 500 colleges took part in this year’s survey, with ECPI University ranking #1 in the nation among career and technical colleges, a category that includes community colleges and four-year career-focused colleges and universities.

“This selection demonstrates that what we do to support our military and veteran students is exactly what we should be doing and that these students are succeeding at the highest levels and finding meaningful careers when they graduate,” says ECPI University Executive Director of Military Education Bill Brown.

Best for Vets: Colleges 2019 is an editorially independent, objective and rigorous news project. Survey editors evaluate the many factors that help make colleges and universities a good fit for service members, military veterans and their families. Colleges and universities are asked to disclose academic outcome and input data, describe many aspects of veteran culture on campus and meticulously document a wide array of services, special policies, accommodations and financial incentives offered to students with military ties.

Military Times also factors in data from the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments, as well as three Education Department sources: the IPEDS Data Center, College Scorecard data and the Cohort Default Rate Database.

“I am asked continually by our senior leaders, faculty and staff if we are doing all we can to support our military and veteran students,” says Brown. “This focus and concern proves to me that ECPI University will always do what it takes to ensure these students have the resources they need to reach their goals.”
