College provides full array of support services for military veterans and servicemembers
2024 Military Times Best for Vets: Colleges has ranked Inver Hills Community College second in Minnesota and 16th in the Midwest for providing outstanding support services to veterans and military students. Best for Vets included five ranking categories this year. Along with its Minnesota and Midwest rankings, Inver Hills was recognized in the following categories:
- 128th in Overall
- 36th in Both (Primarily In-Person and Primarily Online)
- 98th in Public
According to Military Times: “The Best for Vets: Colleges survey questions and scoring rubric have been honed and developed in consultation with representatives from several schools covering the range of institution types.
“Student success metrics are the most important factor in determining the relative ranking of schools on the list, followed closely by the range of military-specific resources and the level of financial assistance schools offer. Admissions and registration policies, human resources and assorted miscellaneous considerations also factor into the scoring rubric.
In 2024, we introduced a deeper level of categorization in the scoring that better distinguishes the different levels of educational opportunities at each institution. Success metrics for each level of education (certificate, associate, baccalaureate and graduate) were compared against each other for all the schools that offered these levels. This adjustment, combined with a significant number of respondents new to the survey, resulted in a fair amount of fluctuation in the rankings compared to 2023.
