UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State World Campus has been named a top 10 military-friendly online institution by a national media outlet.

Victory Media, which publishes G.I. Jobs and other military-focused publications, ranked World Campus as the No. 6 military-friendly online school. The outlet recognized 541 schools in four different award categories: Top 10, Gold, Silver and Bronze. 

“Penn State World Campus is committed to military around the world and providing those who defend our great country the opportunity to receive their education from a premier educational institution,” said Greg Bond, director of military education for Penn State World Campus. “Military communities experience unique circumstances as they try to better their lives through education, and our dedicated faculty and staff are trained to help deliver them a successful learning environment.”

Almost 3,400 military and veteran students are enrolled in degree and certificate programs through the World Campus. The military-friendly rankings are based on surveys completed by universities about their policies and services, including admissions and financial aid.

Penn State World Campus has dedicated military admissions and advising teams and offers financial assistance to military students, including the Military Grant-in-Aid program that reduces tuition for undergraduate service members and their spouses, and military scholarships.

In addition to Victory Media’s recognition of Penn State World Campus, Military Times ranked World Campus No. 9 in its “Best for Vets” 2016 college rankings that were released in November.
