UMT Selected as A "Top School" in Military Advanced Education
& Transition's 2017 Guide to Colleges &
Universities
ARLINGTON, Virginia, December 8, 2016
 The
University of Management and Technology is pleased to announce that it has
received the designation of a Top School in the Military Advanced Education
& Transition (MAE&T)'s 2017 Guide to Colleges & Universities. The
Guide, which measures best practices in military and veteran education, will be
released in the December and is available online at www.mae-kmi.com
The
guide presents results of a questionnaire of the military-supportive policies
enacted at more than 600 institutions including private, public, for-profit,
not-for-profit, four-year, and two-year colleges. From community colleges to
state universities, online universities and nationally known centers of higher
learning, MAE&T's 2017 Guide to Colleges & Universities arms students
with information about institutions that go out of their way to give back to our
men and women in uniform.
Now in its tenth year of publishing the Guide,
MAE&T was the first publication to launch a reference tool of this type.
This year, institutions were evaluated by their achievement in military culture,
financial aid, flexibility, general support services, on-campus support and
online support services. In the December issue of MAE&T, the Guide to
Colleges & Universities uses an easy-to-read graphic presentation in the
form of bar charts, which will enable readers to compare and contrast schools to
find the best match for their needs. Each school's performance rating by
category is represented by an easy-to-recognize dashboard. This enables
prospective students to quickly target schools that follow best practices in
military education, and then put these in context with other academic or career
considerations. With input from an advisory board of educational and government
experts, and criteria based on recommendations from the VA and military
services, MAE&T's Guide to Colleges and Universities provides the
foundational information a prospective student would use in framing his or her
educational needs.
"University of Management and Technology has been
chosen as a TOP SCHOOL in the 2017 MAE&T Guide to Colleges &
Universities research study. This is a wonderful honor, awarded to institutions
with the very best practices in military- and veteran-supportive education."
said Kelly Fodel, Military Advanced Education & Transition's editor. "As the
first publication to publish a list evaluating best practices in military
education, MAE&T has been improving the process every year in order to
provide our men and women in uniform information that will help them make the
right choices about college. Thank you for helping us serve those who serve our
country."
