(Monaca, PA) – The Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) is named one of 325 colleges and universities that is “Best for Vets” as determined by Military Times. This is the largest and most comprehensive annual ranking of schools for military service members and veterans.
Ranked number 24 in the Mid-Atlantic region consisting of five states, CCBC strives to provide equal opportunities for all veteran students with open enrollment, early registration, counseling and academic services, and a dedicated veteran workspace.
“We are honored to be included on the list of “Best for Vets” by Military Times. Our veteran students are enrolled in challenging programs at CCBC, and are also partners, parents, and employees in the community. I am impressed everyday by their dedication and accomplishments,” said Tambria Radomski, Military and Veterans Liaison.
CCBC’s open enrollment and early registration allows student veterans to select programs and classes that work best for their career goals and schedule. The Military and Veterans Liaison works closely with veterans, to provide counseling, academic services, and individualized assistance. Veteran students also have a lounge on campus with resources and workspaces specific to their needs.
Each year, a survey is sent to colleges and universities across the nation asking about their programs for veterans. The survey results are then analyzed, along with public data about colleges and universities obtained from the Department of Education and Department of Veterans Affairs and turned into an official ranking.
