Lenexa, Kan., April 23, 2021 — Grantham University, an online university, announced today that it has been designated a Military Spouse Friendly® School for the 2021-2022 cycle. In addition to holding this title, Grantham also was ranked as a top 10 non-traditional Military Friendly® School.
Specifically, to earn the military friendly school designation, an institution must have at least a 50 percent graduation rate, a one- and two-year retention rate of at least 50 percent, a loan default rate 20 percent or lower and a job placement rate of at least 50 percent.
“We are honored to be recognized among so many other wonderful institutions,” said Lindsay Bridgeman, interim president of Grantham University. “This designation not only affirms to the public that Grantham provides unmatched quality for our veteran students, but is an internal confirmation that our professors and curriculum prepare students for life beyond graduation.”
This is the third year that Grantham has been recognized.
