Ole Miss listed No. 5 nationally in 'Best for Vets' rankings
OXFORD, Miss. – For the first time, the Military Times has listed the University of Mississippi No. 1 in the Southeastern Conference and No. 5 nationally in its annual Best for Vets ranking.
Military Times surveyed 325 colleges and universities across the nation for their resources, opportunities and success rates for veterans. Ole Miss has previously ranked in the top 25 universities, and the rise in the university’s ranking is based on its dedication to serving and supporting veterans, Chancellor Glenn Boyce said.
UM's first student veteran organization was established on campus in 1920. There are over 1,900 military-connected students enrolled today.
Military Times’ ranking has become a metric by which potential students and their families assess a university’s military-readiness, said Andrew Newby, assistant director of the UM Office of Veteran and Military Services.
