STATESBORO, GA --
Georgia Southern University has been named a military-friendly school for the second year in a row by Military Advanced Education according to a press release issued by the school.

“This is proof that when it comes to meeting the needs of troops and veterans, our University is serving those who serve our country,” said Brooks Keel, Ph.D., President of Georgia Southern University.
“Georgia is fortunate to have a number of military bases and military personnel, and Georgia Southern takes great pride in having these students pursuing their degrees either in classrooms on campus or online. We are committed to helping them achieve the success they deserve.”

Officials with the university say that the survey looked at different areas including the flexibility of online learning options, transfer credit policies and support for military families.

“The Guide has become an invaluable tool for both education services officers and transition officers when advising service members and their families about degree and certification opportunities currently available from institutions of higher learning,” said Laural Hobbes, editor of Military Advanced Education.
