Muhlenberg College’s Division of Graduate and Continuing Education has earned recognition as a 2025-2026 Military Friendly ® School. 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 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard.
The 2025-2026 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May and October issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and militaryfriendly.com. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly ® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community.
“We are honored to once again be recognized as a Military Friendly® School for 2025-2026,” says Vice President of Muhlenberg College Division of Graduate and Continuing Education, AJ Lemheney, Ed.D. “At Muhlenberg, we are deeply committed to supporting our student veterans and military-affiliated learners with flexible, high-quality academic programs and dedicated support services tailored to their unique needs. This designation reflects the strength of our community, the value we place on service, and our ongoing commitment to helping military-connected students succeed in their academic and professional journeys.”
Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of 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.
“Military Friendly® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process. Our 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.” - Kayla Lopez, vice president, Military Friendly®.
