Each November, Military Times magazine announces their “Best for Vets: Colleges” rankings, and CTU is honored to be among the schools listed for 2024! Based on an objective and independent analysis, colleges and universities are rated on their ability to meet the needs of service members, veterans, and their families.
This is the 9th time CTU has been named on this list. The purpose of these rankings is to ensure that service members have access to unbiased information when choosing an educational institution. To produce them, Military Times provides universities with a comprehensive survey detailing services and programs available to students involved with the military. The data from this questionnaire is then combined with other factors such as student completion, retention, and GPA.1
A Military-Centric University
Since its founding by a veteran in 1965, CTU has proudly supported those with ties to the military. As of December 31st, 2023, our full tuition CTU Patriot Scholarship has been awarded to 800 active-duty service members, veterans, and caregivers.2
In addition, we offer a reduced tuition rate for active service members and their spouses. Students can also use education benefits such as the GI Bill® toward degree programs, and they may take advantage of our leave of absence policy which allows them to take time off for deployment.
"Receiving this recognition is a true point of pride for us," said University President Elise Baskel. "Supporting our veterans and ensuring they have access to a quality education remains at the core of our mission. We sincerely thank Military Times for this esteemed honor."
