Citrus College ranked as a top college for veterans
Military Times, an independent news source for service members and their families, recently recognized Citrus College as one of the nation's top community colleges for veterans and members of the military.
After surveying hundreds of colleges and universities nationwide, the organization released its "Best for Vets" rankings in early November. Citrus College was ranked 12th in the state of California and 22nd among the western region's colleges and universities.
To create the annual rankings, Military Times gathered information, including student-veteran policies, academic outcomes, military-supportive cultures and more, from hundreds of colleges and universities across the country. Each institution also answered questions about their operations, which were then compared to federal data from the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Defense.
"Veterans interested in pursuing higher education often consult the Military Times to make informed decisions, which is why it is such an honor for Citrus College to be included among these rankings," said Superintendent/President Schulz. "The fact that our veterans program is consistently recognized for providing exceptional support to students is a testament to the great work taking place in our Veterans Success Center. I am proud that Citrus College is helping our student-veterans in such an effective way."
