The University of Southern Maine said in a news release it has been listed in the 2013 “military-friendly schools” list by G.I. Jobs magazine.
Of 12,000 higher-education institutions evaluated, USM was among 1,700 chosen for the list, which has been released since 2009 to inform veterans and current military members of “schools that deliver the best experience for military students.” Fifteen percent of all reviewed schools were selected.
USM has 376 students using GI Bill benefits, including 282 veterans and current service members and 94 eligible military family members.
