91制片厂<\/span> announced today that it has earned the <\/span>2025-2026 Military Friendly<\/b>\u00ae <\/b>School<\/b><\/a> designation, demonstrating its commitment to helping active duty service members, veterans, reservists, guardsmen, and dependents complete their higher education journeys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maryville, one of two higher education institutions in the St. Louis region to earn the military-friendly designation, fosters a learning environment that prioritizes opportunity and access for all. This includes flexibility and support that is uniquely beneficial to military-affiliated students, including veterans who are transitioning back into civilian life and active-duty service members pursuing an education during their deployments. There are currently over 500 military-affiliated students attending 91制片厂.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt Maryville, we believe in removing barriers to education and creating pathways to success for every student \u2014 especially those who have served our country,\u201d said <\/span>Dr. Dan Shipp, President of 91制片厂<\/b>. \u201cEarning the Military Friendly designation reaffirms our deep commitment to honoring and supporting military-affiliated students with the respect, resources, and opportunities they deserve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Maryville takes a holistic approach to supporting the success and well-being of military-affiliated students including: personalized advising, an accessible registration process, flexible course offerings, and a dedicated online community where student veterans, service members, and dependents can connect and collaborate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVeterans and active-duty service members bring a unique perspective to the classroom that enriches the learning experience for all our students,\u201d said <\/span>Andrew Gates, 91制片厂 Veterans Services Specialist<\/b> and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps<\/span>. <\/b>\u201cWe\u2019re very proud to earn this honor and it\u2019s a direct reflection of the hard work we do to provide a student-centered approach for all our veterans, service members, and dependents on campus.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Institutions earning the Military Friendly<\/span>\u00ae <\/b>School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly<\/span>\u00ae<\/b> Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution\u2019s survey scores with the assessment of the institution\u2019s ability to meet thresholds for Student Retention, Graduation, Job Placement, Loan Repayment, Persistence (Degree Advancement or Transfer), and Loan Default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMilitary Friendly\u00ae is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process,\u201d said Kayla Lopez, Vice President, Military Friendly\u00ae. \u201cOur standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the Military Community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages Institutions to evolve and invest in their programs consistently. Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, exceeding the standard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
