SMSU earns Military Friendly Schools Gold Status

Southwest Minnesota State University has been named a 2022-23 Military Friendly School, earning the classification in the Gold Division.

SMSU currently has 54 veteran students, said Veterans Service Officer Justin Guggisberg.

“We are happy to continue our tradition of being recognized as one of the top Military Friendly universities in the country,” he said. “We appreciate the support we receive from President Jayasuriya and the entire Mustang Family.”

Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by Viqtory, with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for Student Retention, Graduation, Job Placement, Loan Repayment, Persistence, and Loan Default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.
