American College of Healthcare Sciences Awarded Military Friendly School Title from G.I. Jobs
American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) has been designated a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine for the third consecutive year
Portland, OR, September 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- G.I. Jobs, the premier magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has awarded American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) the designation of Military Friendly School. The 2012 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students.
In its effort to help student veterans find the right school, G.I. Jobs incorporated a survey of student veterans for the first time. This feedback provides prospective military students with insight into the student veteran experience at a particular institution based on peer reviews from current students. Student veteran survey feedback can be viewed at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/2012 list.
“The Military Friendly Schools list is the go-to resource for prospective student veterans searching for schools that provide the right overall experience. Nothing is more compelling than actual feedback from current student veterans,” says Michael Dakduk, Executive Director for the Student Veterans of America.
ACHS Director of Military Relations Kate Harmon adds, “ACHS is committed to providing the best overall educational experience we can for our active duty, veteran, and military spouse students, including 24/7 support, flexible online studies, and highly interactive course content. Our primary goal is to help students achieve their goals, whether they are short-term goals for personal health or long-term goals educating military and non-military clients about holistic approaches to health.”
