University of Colorado at Colorado Springs climbed to the No. 3 spot nationally for its military friendliness in the 2021-2022 Military Friendly Schools rankings.
It is the third consecutive year UCCS has been ranked in the top 10 for large public institutions for its commitment to military-affiliated students. Last year UCCS ranked No. 5. The ratings are based on six categories including academic policies and compliance, admissions and orientation, culture and commitment, financial aid and assistance, graduation and career, and military student support and retention.
âWe are grateful to our military for keeping us safe and we take great pride in serving them and their families,â UCCS Chancellor Venkat Reddy said in a statement. âOur military-affiliated students bring rich experiences and strengthen our campus and community culture. We are fully committed to their success in the classroom and beyond.â
