We measure the institution\u2019s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cWe are so proud to be designated as a Military Friendly\u00ae\u00a0School for the tenth consecutive year.
