Methodist University earns Military Friendly® Gold Ranking

By Staff Report, posted 2 years ago

As a university that is positioned to “serve those who serve,” Methodist University has earned a “Gold-Level” ranking as a Military Friendly ® University for the 2022-2023 school year. 

The Military Friendly ® ratings program was started in 2003 to encourage civilian programs to invest in, recruit, retain, and advance military veterans as employees and students. 

“We are proud of our Military Friendly® designation and are committed to expanding our services and academic programs to best meet the unique needs of our military-affiliated students,” said Billy J. Buckner, director of MU Military Programs and Workforce Training. “Our military students bring with them a wealth of knowledge, experience, and maturity that makes us better as a university.” 

Being just a few miles from Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield, Methodist University students, staff, faculty, and alumni include veterans, active-duty military, and their families. 

In January 2021, Methodist University began offering full online degree programs to undergraduate and graduate students that allow many opportunities for military-connected students. Through the University’s Workforce Training program, training courses are provided to prepare students for national/industry-recognized certification exams in technology, business, health and legal. 

“We work hard every day to meet the needs of our military student population, and being designated as a Military Friendly® designation means we are doing something right, but we can always be better,” said Buckner. 

In addition to new online programs, military students can earn degrees without leaving base.
