OCU earns recognition for military student support

Ұ University was once again classified as a recommended school for military members and veterans. 

The military advocacy organization Viqtory announced that OCU is on its 2025-26 Military Friendly® School list. The list honors colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military members as students to ensure their success on campus.

“By earning this prestigious designation, you've demonstrated that your school is an ideal fit for military and veteran students,” an email announcement from Viqtory to OCU administrators stated.

Beth Adele, chair of Mass Communications at OCU and administrator of the university’s application for the program, said the designation is evidence of the university’s goal of helping all students obtain a first-class education.

“OCU is proud to provide educational support for our veterans and their dependents deserving of their sacrifices and careers,” Adele said. “The Military Friendly Gold designation helps us communicate our ongoing dedication to invest in the lives of our veterans as they journey from service to student.”

The Military Friendly® School designation provides service members, veterans and their families with transparent, data-driven ratings about post-military education and career opportunities.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly®​ School designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey completed by each school. Student survey data was also taken into consideration for the designation. 

More than 2,500 schools participated in the survey. The list will be published in an upcoming issue of GIJOBS magazine. It can also be found at .

OCU, a Yellow Ribbon Program university, was lauded for its low student-to-faculty ratio, among other notable characteristics that assist military and veteran students. Viqtory says such personalized attention can help veterans “transition to college after time away from a full-time classroom experience.”
