Baker College among top military-friendly schools in nation

Baker College Online officials announced that it has been named a 2013 “Best of the Best” Veteran-Friendly School by DiversityComm, Inc., publisher of four magazines including U.S. Veterans Magazine.

DiversityComm identified the veteran-friendly schools across the nation through readership surveys and review of market research, interviews, 10-K annual reports, and community and conference participation.

“There are thousands of schools across the country, and only 119 were included in the ‘Best of the Best’ list,” said Shawn Mann, director of military education programs for Baker College Online. “This designation is a significant acknowledgment by veterans for how Baker College goes above and beyond to create a veteran-friendly college experience. For veterans or active service personnel considering beginning or returning to school, it’s clear that Baker College welcomes you.”
