BEST FOR VETERANS: U.S. News names Peirce College's
online bachelor's degree program best for veterans

Peirce College’s support of active military personnel and veterans has helped us land a spot in U.S. News & World Report's Best Online Bachelor's Programs for Veterans 2013 Rankings. U.S. News ranked 25 online bachelor’s degree programs according to how they suit veterans’ needs. To make the list, an online bachelor’s degree program had to:

• Belong to an institution certified for the GI Bill.
• Belong to an institution participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
• Belong to an institution that is a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) Consortium.
• Offer at least one credit-granting course listed in the Defense Activities for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) Catalog of Nationally Accredited Distance Learning Programs.
• Be ranked in U.S. News & World Report's 2013 Best Online Education Programs rankings.

This ranking demonstrates the strong support system we've put in place for veterans at Peirce College. Veterans have a unique set of challenges when returning to civilian life, and we are committed to helping them position themselves for successful careers.
In addition to all the requirements U.S. News was looking for in its ranking, we offer the Protect & Serve Grant, a tuition-based scholarship for veterans, active military members, and their families. We also have the opportunity for military members to get school credit for military experience, and we partner with a host of veteran support services, such as Veterans Upward Bound. By offering these opportunities and more, we hope to honor military members for their service to our country and help them start their civilian lives as easily and seamlessly as possible.

We want to thank the dedicated group of faculty, staff, and students who helped make this ranking possible. We couldn't have done it without your support.
