The Military Times used data from the federal Education, Defense and Veterans Affairs departments to see how the schools stacked up in five areas: university culture, academic quality and outcomes, student support, academic policies, cost and financial aid.

Colleges and universities were required to complete a comprehensive survey to be considered in the ranking.

While Rutgers University was included in the most recent Best Colleges ranking, many veterans and active service people attend programs at Rutgers Business School, including Rutgers Business School Executive Education’s Mini-MBA: Business Management for Military and Veterans.

“This certificate program is unique in that it is taught by veterans who have gone on to business success,” said Margaret O’Donnell, manager of Military and Veteran Engagement Programs at Rutgers Business School. “It also culminates with four months of mentorship to virtually ensure success.”
