Albertus Magnus College Honored To Again Be Named Military Friendly School
Achieves Silver Status as Military Spouse Friendly Institution
New Haven, Conn, April 9, 2025
Albertus Magnus College
is designated a Military Friendly® School for 2025-2026 — achieving Silver status.
This honor celebrates Albertus’ sustainable and meaningful education paths and
programs it has created for Veterans
. More than 1800 schools participated in this most recent survey with 830 earning
the designation. That list will be published in the May and October issue of G.I.
Jobs magazine and found at
www.militaryfriendly.com
As of Spring 2025, Albertus has 24 military-affiliated students including active duty,
veterans, or dependents (spouse or children). Because of this, Albertus is also named
a Military Spouse Friendly School.
The Military Friendly® ratings
are determined through the evaluation of public data and proprietary data gathered
through the annual Military Friendly® survey process. Survey topics and questions
are reviewed and developed with the assistance of an independent Military Friendly®
Advisory Council comprising independent subject matter experts and industry partners
representing the field of veteran education.
“This newest recognition speaks volumes to Albertus’ passion of meeting the educational
needs of adult learners, and notably, those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces,” said
Albertus Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty Rosa E. Rivera-Hainaj,
Ph.D. “We answer the call of meeting the needs of our students and society at large,
always with an eye toward our students’ degree attainment success. We are grateful
to all those who serve our country — as they too answer a calling — and we’re inspired
to help them pursue their college degree dreams, opening doors to careers informed
by our Dominican Pillar Values of Study, Prayer, Community, and Service.”
“Helping Veterans succeed as they transition to civilian life is how Albertus differentiates
itself; and consistently being named a Military Friendly® institution only adds to
our list of accomplishments. These honors, combined with our success-oriented courses
and programs, help Veterans achieve their goals,” said Albertus Veterans Advisor and
Registrar Justin Cirisoli, MBA, MS.
Military Friendly® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven
standards to our designation process. Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes
positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide
opportunity for the Military Community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that
encourages Institutions to evolve and invest in their programs consistently. Schools
who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, exceeding the
standard,” said Kayla Lopez, Vice President, Military Friendly®.
The Military Friendly® recognition is the latest in a series of national acknowledgements
that Albertus has earned. Earlier in this 2024-2025 academic year,
Forbes Advisor
ranked Albertus a Top 6 Best Online College in Connecticut and
U.S. News & World Report
named Albertus one of its “Best Colleges” in its overall rankings as well as for
its
online education
