Emmanuel College is a military friendly school, according to G. I. Jobs.

The Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools which are doing the most to embrace America’s veterans as students. Criteria for making the list includes efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students.

“The Military Friendly Schools list is the gold standard in letting veterans know which schools will offer them the greatest opportunity, flexibility and overall experience,” says Derek Blumke, president of Student Veterans of America and a member of the list’s Academic Advisory Board. “It’s especially important now with so many veterans returning home who are looking for direction to take the next step in their careers.”

The list’s profile of Emmanuel College says veterans and other students find the small class sizes and individual attention ideal for learning. EC participates in Yellow-Ribbon and all other VA programs. For more information, read EC’s full profile.

The Records Office at EC is a valuable resource also. "We look forward to serving our military and veteran students," says Registrar Debra Grizzle. "We are happy to help with VA Benefits, credit for CLEP and military training, and scholarships."

G.I. Jobs (www.gijobs.com) is published by Victory Media, a veteran-owned business which also publishes The Guide to Military Friendly Schools, Military Spouse and Vetrepreneur magazines and annually rates the nation’s “Military Friendly Employers,” “Military Spouse Friendly Employers” and “Best Corporations for Veteran-Owned Businesses.”

Founded in 1919, Emmanuel College is a Christ-centered, liberal arts institution which strives to prepare students to become Christ-like disciples who integrate faith, learning, and living for effective careers, scholarship, and service. EC is fully accredited by SACS to award the associate’s and bachelor’s degrees.
