"Inclusion on the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools shows
University of Management and Technology's commitment to providing a supportive
environment for military students." says Sean Collins, Director for G.I.

The 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled

weightings that comprise the 2013 list were independently verified by Ernst and
Young LLP. Complete survey methodology is available at http://www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/Article/methodology-press-kit.
Each year schools taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the
previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with
the assistance of an Academic Advisory Board (AAB) consisting of educators from
schools across the country. A full list of board members can be found at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/board.
