Central Carolina Technical College Earns Military Friendly School Designation for 11th Year
Sumter, SC (03/14/2022) — Central Carolina Technical College announced that it has earned the 2022-2023 Military Friendly School designation in the Gold level.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2022-2023 survey with 656 earning the designation. The 2022-2023 Military Friendly Schools list will be published in G.I. Jobs magazine's May issue.
Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly AdvisoryCouncil of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution's survey response set and government/agency public data sources, within a logic-based scoring assessment. We measure the institution's 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.
"We are so proud to be designated as a Military Friendly School for the 11th consecutive year. It is an honor for the college to serve our military population," said vice president of Student Affairs Lisa Bracken. "The college understands that balancing military life with pursuing an education can be challenging at times. In an effort to reduce challenges, we offer several services for our active duty military members, dependents and veterans. We look forward to continuing to serve our military population for many years to come."
