The Best for Vets: Colleges 2017 survey is open

Military Times just launched its latest survey for colleges and universities, Best for Vets: Colleges 2017.

The survey, in its seventh year, includes more than 100 detailed questions that carefully examine the policies, services, culture, leadership and other factors that can make an institution a good choice for veteran or military students.

The responses are carefully evaluated and used to create the Best for Vets: Colleges and Best for Vets: Career & Technical Colleges rankings.

Each year, hundreds of institutions respond to the survey, but only a fraction of them earn the Best for Vets designation.

All responses help us analyze important trends in veterans higher education.

Do you know of a college or university doing great things for veterans that might like to take part in this survey?

If so, email bestforvets@militarytimes.com with an email address for the representative who would fill out the survey on behalf of the institution.
