A record number of schools completed MAE’s extensive survey measuring best practices in military education. It’s an invaluable resource for ESOs and commanders advising servicemembers about educational opportunities or for military personnel researching schools independently.

“VA was called

system … and

a national

campaign to

let everyone

know about this

amazing new

benefit, which

has already paid

justifiably proud of

our success.”

— Allison A. Hickey

As an editor of a magazine that supports the educational endeavors of veterans and servicemembers, I, and the rest of the Military Advanced Education staff, am always happy to see the expansion of opportunities for this special group of students, particu-larly when those opportunities are financial, making attaining a degree more affordable and accessible.

That’s why we were pleased to learn of the recent expansion of the Fry Scholarship. The Fry Scholarship was created to honor Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry, 28, of Lorena, Texas. Sergeant Fry had one week left in his tour in Iraq in 2006 when he volunteered to continue working for seven more hours disarming explosive devices, despite having already sustained an injury to his hand. He made the ultimate sacrifice on March 8, 2006, in Anbar Province, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated. He left behind a widow and three children.

The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (also known as the Choice Act) was recently signed into law. It included two provisions affecting GI Bill benefits, including the Fry Scholarship. Section 701 of the Choice Act expands the Fry Scholarship to include the surviving spouses of servicemembers who died in the line of duty after September 10, 2001. Prior to this law, only children of those who died in the line of duty were eligible for this benefit.

In fiscal year 2013, 1,279 children were awarded the Fry Scholarship. Now, eligible spouses will be entitled to receive 36 months of full benefits, equal to the 100 percent level of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This includes tuition and fees payment, a monthly housing allowance and a stipend for books and supplies.

VA began accepting Fry Scholarship applications by mail from spouses starting November 3, 2014. Visit www.benefits.va.gov for more information.

And, when considering where to attend school and utilize your GI Bill or TA benefits, be sure to consult our MAE 2015 Guide to Colleges & Universities, starting on page 9 of this issue.

as the population grows and people live longer, there’s

an inCreased need to provide quality mediCal Care.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statis-tics, employment of registered nurses is expected

to grow 19 percent from 2012 to 2022, faster than the combined average of all occupations. The reasons cited for nursing’s growth include the emphasis on preventive care, the growing rates of chronic conditions and the need to provide services to the baby boomer popu-lation. A career in nursing may be attractive for active or retired ser-vicemembers, a group of people already credited with helping others.

Nurses can work in a variety of environments, from doctors’ offices to home health care services, schools or even the military. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates there are three education paths: a bachelor’s degree, an associate degree or a diploma from an approved nursing program. Registered nurses must also be licensed. The median salary is more than $65,000, making nursing an attrac-tive career, and there are a variety of schools to choose from when mapping out your path.

monmouth university

Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J., has two aca-demic departments for those interested in health care: the depart-ment of nursing and the department of health and physical education.

“An intelligent, caring person,” Janet Mahoney, R.N., dean and professor, said when describing who would make a great nurse and great addition to Mon-mouth’s program.

Mahoney said there are a variety of degrees for people interested in Monmouth’s nursing programs, all of which Mahoney described as rigorous.

“Pre-licensure BSN (Bachelor of Science in nurs-ing), RN (registered) to BSN, RN to MSN, a family NP (nurse practitioner), adult gerontological primary care NP (nurse practitioner), psychiatric mental health NP (nurse practitioner), nursing administration, nursing education, forensic nursing, school nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and post-master and graduate certifi-cates are available,” Mahoney said.

Currently, Monmouth University has two ser-vicemembers enrolled in its nursing program. The university offers several incentives for those who serve or have served in the military. The Military Bridge Pro-gram lets those who have never gone to school start as provisional students; with a 2.25 GPA in the first semester, they can apply for full-time status.

Overall, Mahoney stressed that a graduate in the program is well-equipped for the workforce. “Careers

include community nursing, hospital nursing, research, school nurs-ing, flight nursing, travel nursing, doctor’s office nursing, trauma nursing, psychiatric nursing, pediatric nursing, teaching nursing and many more,” she said.

ameriCan military university (amu)

“Once nurses complete their military service, the skills they have acquired can be excellent assets, both in seeking employment and in their nursing practice,” said Elaine Keavney, director of the AMU RN to BSN program.

The AMU RN to BSN (Bachelor of Science in nursing) program is a degree progression program. Prior to admission, students must have earned an associate degree or diploma in nursing and have an active, registered nursing license in their state. A baccalaureate degree in nursing is conferred upon completion of the program.

“Because the students are already licensed and have studied nursing content at the associate level, the RN to BSN program focuses on nursing leadership and a broader view of the profession of nursing,” Keavney said. “Students also have courses related to com-munity health nursing in a baccalaureate program.”

Keavney described the nursing program at AMU as challenging, similar to most college classes. AMU courses are typically eight weeks, so coursework is heavier than traditional 15-week courses. All of the courses are online, making it especially accessible. “In an online environment, students must have inter-nal motivation and good time management skills, especially since most are working adults who must balance professional and personal responsibilities,” Keavney added.

Once finished with coursework, Keavney believes job prospects are high. She cited the Affordable Healthcare Act as expanding opportunities for nurses to work in areas of health promotion and prevention. “There has been talk of a nursing shortage for years, and this anticipated shortage was delayed due to the recent recession, as nurses near the end of their careers delayed retirement for a variety of economic reasons,” Keavney said. “In the near future, however, many nurses will retire, which will greatly increase employment opportunities.”

Keavney also believes those with military experi-ence have the desire to serve others; that characteris-tic or trait is certainly needed in the field of nursing. “The nursing profession is intellectually challenging and provides a variety of career paths, enabling nurses

to have long, productive and stimulating careers,” Keavney said.

towson university

“Nursing is a career for and of a lifetime,” said Kathleen Ogle, interim chairperson of Towson Univer-sity’s Department of Nursing. “Nurses can be and do anything in any place at any time.”

The Towson University Department of Nursing offers baccalaureate and master’s degrees in nursing. For the B.S. degree, students may either complete the prerequisites at Towson or at a local community college and transfer to the nursing program. Nursing courses are completed during the junior and senior years.

“Students learn how to give care to patients of all ages and in all settings, such as hospitals, extended care and community settings,” Ogle said.

The graduate (M.S.) degree is available to nurses who have a baccalaureate degree in nursing and wish to further their education in either nursing adminis-tration or nursing education.

The Towson program, located at the school’s Towson, Md., campus, is extremely attractive to for-mer or current servicemembers, with 13 currently enrolled. Some remain in the reserves and are registered nurses who are completing the baccalaureate degree in the degree completion option. Others have served and are extending skills learned in the military by becoming registered nurses.

Ogle explained that the program is challenging and admission to the program is competitive. Prospective students should have done very well in their science prerequisites. Once admitted to the

program, lecture courses are related to clinical experi-ences that students attend weekly.

Like most in the nursing profession, Ogle empha-sizes the job security of those who enter the field. “Nursing is one of the in-demand professions across the country,” she said. “As more hospitals apply for Magnet status, nurses with a baccalaureate degree are particularly in demand.”

Opportunities are endless. Once the baccalaureate nursing degree is completed, Ogle said, nurses can go on to work in any type of care—OB, pediatrics, geron-tology, trauma or community health. With advanced education, nurses can become nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse administra-tors and nurse educators.

ameriCan sentinel university

A shortage of nurses doesn’t potentially affect just care. According to Paul Capicik, vice president of mili-tary programs at American Sentinel University, the profession is in need of future leaders as well.

“Nurses with advanced degrees are needed to lead in health care organizations that provide direct care for patients,” Capicik said. “Nurses with advanced degrees are also needed to educate the nurses of

tomorrow and fill the ranks of the health care workers needed to meet the needs of the public.”

Several nursing programs are available at American Sentinel Uni-versity, a health care-focused online university whose goal is to edu-cate working professionals. The programs include: a Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in nursing (RN to BSN), a Registered Nurse to Master of Science (RN to BSN/MSN) and a Master of Science (MSN)

i wasn’t entirely sure which direction to go or exactly what i wanted to do when i graduated from high school. after speaking with my family and a few close friends, i decided to talk with each branch of service before choosing the marine corps. if i had not made this decision, i wouldn’t have been a candidate for Penn State’s nursing program and

certainly wouldn’t have known that one day i would be accepting a job at University of Pittsburgh medical cen-ter altoona in the emergency depart-ment. i chose to enlist as infantry in September 2005 and was stationed at camp lejeune, n.c. during enlist-ment, i completed two tours in iraq, one in habbaniyah and the other in Fallujah. these two deployments shaped the rest of my life.

i chose nursing because of one inspirational navy corpsman, John medrano, whom i worked closely with on my first deployment. i believe he saw that i had a passion for help-ing others, and i was always asking

questions regarding his duties as a corpsman. after seeing my desire to learn more, “doc” (as we called him) decided to enroll me in different courses, such as the combat lifesav-ers course and deployment medicine operators course, which were taught by several members of the Special Forces, providing realistic scenarios in a combat atmosphere where we would have to triage, assess and treat the victims with minimal medi-cal equipment available.

after completing these courses and applying this knowledge on two deployments, i knew nursing was the career for me. i chose Penn State because i grew up in this area; my father had gone to Penn State; and the positive energy and achievements of this campus are

undeniable. the nursing program is not an easy one, but provided the necessary challenges and amazing instructors needed to further pre-pare me as an r.n. i would also like to send a special thank you to Pam lawson, who shares the military experience and motivated me and prepared me to be the best nurse possible.

as for the future, i plan on gain-ing the most experience i can at UPmc altoona and possibly further my education to become a nurse practitioner. For all those making a career transition, i would suggest using all the resources that you have earned in the military to further your education and continue to better yourself while helping others do the same in the process.

with specialty tracks in management and organizational leadership, case management, informatics, education, and infection preven-tion and control. The Doctor of Nursing Prac-tice (DNP) program has two specialty tracks, executive leadership and educational leader-ship.

More than 520 current or former service-members are enrolled in American Sentinel’s various nursing programs. “An advanced degree is important for promotion and tran-sition,” Capicik said. “Advanced degrees are valued both in the military services and the civilian and Veterans Administration environ-ments. As health care organizations become more and more data-driven for survival and competitive reasons, continuing education on new and vital methods and processes are expected of employees.”

Understanding the leadership manage-ment and analytics advances is important to those wanting to advance in health care. The nursing programs at American Sentinel are challenging in that they encourage learners to increase their knowledge and expand their scope of nursing prac-tice. The majority of students are employed full-time in nursing while they pursue their next degree.

A good example of how American Sentinel’s specialized training is applicable to real life is with the recent Ebola scare. American Sen-tinel’s specialization in infection prevention and control, as part of the MSN program, would provide students with detailed instruction. Overall, this program aligns with the school’s mission, which is to ultimately enhance the practice and posi-tively impact health care outcomes or civic lives.

penn state university

Penn State University offers a variety of nursing degree programs as well, both at its main campuses and at many of its satellite campuses. Four-year bach-elor’s degrees in nursing are available at the University Park, Altoona, Erie, Fayette, Mont Alto and Worthing-ton Scranton campuses.

“Coursework provides students with a foundation in science and liberal arts, as well as an extensive range of nursing courses that can prepare them to provide care in hospitals, private practice, long-term care, clinics, community agen-cies and other settings,” said Pam Lawson, University Park campus coordinator of Penn State School of Nursing. “University Park stu-dents will spend either their junior or senior year at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center, where they will do their clinical work.”

Penn State also offers an R.N. to B.S. option to make it possible for nurses to get the additional knowledge they need to work in hospitals that have Magnet status. This program is available through several of Penn State’s commonwealth campuses as well as online through Penn State World Campus.

Finally, at the graduate level, Penn State offers two separate mas-ter’s degrees in nursing: one for students seeking a research-oriented

program with a subsequent Ph.D. and one for students who seek to use their degree for administration and in practice. “The Ph.D. program helps develop clinical scholars, faculty and researchers,” Lawson said. “A new program, the online doctor of nurse practitio-ner available through Penn State World Campus, is a professional and practice-focused degree designed to prepare advanced-practice nurses to be leaders and to deliver expert care and improve health

care practices.” Currently, Penn State’s College of Nursing has

two undergraduate students enrolled in the baccalau-reate program who are servicemembers. Lawson said the programs at Penn State are rigorous and students are routinely challenged. The online program may offer some flexibility, but students still have to bal-ance all of life’s responsibilities.

“One advantage that the online model has is that the courses are asynchronous, meaning that students can turn in their work at their convenience, so they don’t have to log into the class at a specific time,” Lawson added. “It’s flexible for those who need that

flexibility in managing their time.” Nursing is an attractive option for servicemembers who have

fought for our country because they care about safety and freedom, and similar work in civilian life by caring for patients can also be sought.

“I tell nursing students that the world is theirs—there are so many different paths they can take to work in this field,” Lawson said. “Nurses can work in hospitals, nursing homes, retirement homes or other community settings. Travel nurses can see the world while having their housing paid for.” O

the University of Southern mississippi, which offers one of the largest nursing pro-grams in mississippi, recently announced a three-year grant in excess of $1 million that will allow the university to offer a specialized, accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSn) degree program designed for former and active duty military servicemembers.

“it’s a great match with what we have to offer with this program because these young people will bring a sense of service from their military background into the nursing profes-sion, which is service-oriented as well,” said maj. Gen. (ret.) Jeff hammond, director of veterans and military student services at Southern miss. “if i were a medical corps-man coming out of the military and looking to advance my career opportunities, the BSn

program at the university’s Gulf Park campus would be at the top of my list.”

the new BSn program, which may be completed in as little as four semesters after satisfaction of prerequisites, incorporates military training and education previously received in the medical field. Prerequisites may be taken at any accredited college or university anywhere in the country, and out-of-state tuition will be waived for students in the program.

By incorporating real-world military experi-ences with academic coursework, the program offers qualifying veterans the opportunity to fast-track their education while maintaining the highest academic standards, clinical quality and national council of State Board of nursing rn licensure examination pass rates for nurses.

In early August 2014, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense informed SOC Con-sortium and Degree Network System member institutions that changes were coming to Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges programs and ser-vices under the long-standing Department of Defense (DoD) contract with AASCU. Member

institutions have expressed concern about the potential impact the SOC contract modifications might have on how they will provide ongoing educational support to servicemembers.

SOC has a long history of supporting and serving military students and veterans and will continue this support as the programs and services change. Planned changes include reshaping SOC and expanding the Degree Network System (DNS), placing

greater emphasis and focus on creating educational partnerships and programs that will maximize the amount of transfer and non-traditional credit applied toward degree requirements. Accelerated degree options (such as awarding non-traditional credit, guaranteed course transferability and two- to four-year degree articulations) that minimize the time-to-degree comple-tion will continue to be central in the DNS so that servicemembers can transi-tion smoothly following military service into the civilian workforce. The SOC DNS will be consolidated across the participat-ing military services into a “joint services” program without separate degree networks for the Army (SOCAD), Navy (SOCNAV), Marine Corps (SOCMAR) and Coast Guard (SOCCOAST).

Additionally, within the next six months, SOC will focus on the establish-ment of a career and technical education group of schools that offer certificates, diplomas and associate degrees to provide servicemembers with career preparation for a successful transition to the civilian workforce. Details of how this grouping of career and technical program offerings will be selected or publicized has not yet been determined.

The most significant change is the dis-solution of the SOC Consortium, a volun-tary membership confederation of colleges and universities across the country who collectively agreed to implement the SOC principles and criteria into performance and action on their campuses in support of degree completion for servicemem-bers. Through the consortium construct, SOC leadership helped shape institutional policies and practices that provide service-members recognition for non-traditional learning acquired through their military training courses and military occupational specialty skills and knowledge.

In December 2014, the SOC Consor-tium, with 1,750 colleges and universities that voluntarily commit to institutional support and engagement of military stu-dents, will be dissolved. In an August 2014 letter to SOC member institutions, Dr. Thomas Langdon, director of state liaison and education opportunities for DoD, stated that the release of Executive Order 13607, “Establishing Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions Serving Service Members, Veterans, Spouses and Other Family Members,” has introduced “sig-nificant changes to the way our military

services administer voluntary education programs.” The presidential executive order added policy oversight of educa-tion programs and financial protections for veterans, servicemembers and their families in the Departments of Defense, Education and Veterans Affairs operations and program implementation. The SOC principles and criteria that shaped the SOC Consortium for over 42 years have been incorporated in the recent Change 3 of the DoD Instruction 1322.25 (which includes the DoD Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understand-ing) and implementation requirements for receiving military tuition assistance. Institutions that agree to participate in the military tuition assistance program will readily recognize that the SOC principles and criteria and the SOC Military Student Bill of Rights, established collaboratively by SOC stakeholders and DoD, have been folded into the Memorandum of Under-standing document and will continue to guide institutional expectations, policies and practices for protecting and effectively delivering educational programs to ser-vicemembers, veterans and their family members.

Established in 1972 by civilian and military educators, SOC was formed to help strengthen and coordinate college-level educational opportunities for ser-vicemembers. SOC has served as a liaison between the higher education commu-nity and military leadership to overcome many of the academic and educational policy obstacles experienced by active duty servicemembers pursuing their college educational goals during off-duty hours. SOC efforts helped the higher educa-tion community understand and appro-priately respond to the unique needs of servicemembers who, due to their mobile work environment and intensive work demands, had difficulty completing col-lege degrees. In many cases, institutional policies related to academic residency, acceptance of credit for military training and occupational specialty toward degree requirements, and waivers of final-year degree requirements were implemented to better serve and support the educational pursuits of servicemembers, veterans and their families. Positive institutional policy changes resulted from debates and collabo-ration between faculty, campus leadership and SOC, resulting in academic policy exceptions for deserving servicemembers.

Though SOC does not have a compre-hensive estimate on the amount of evalu-ated credit awarded for military training and experience by the more than 1,750 SOC Consortium institutions, we do have precise figures from the 160 schools par-ticipating in the SOC DNS. Illustrating the value of the SOC principles and cri-teria on college performance in FY13, SOC DNS institutions reported over 720,000 credit hours of non-traditional credit were awarded and applied toward the degree requirements of more than 45,000 servicemembers for whom SOC DNS Student Agreements (degree plans) were written. On average, the participat-ing colleges awarded 13 semester hours of credit in associate degree programs and 19 semester hours of credit at the bachelor’s degree level. Ninety-three percent (more than 670,000) of the non-traditional credit awards were for military training and occupational specialty experience. From a strictly financial cost-avoidance stand-point, the cost avoidance by the military services on tuition is enormous. Extrapo-lating the data from that small group of dedicated SOC Degree Network System members to the greater consortium mem-bership would show a daunting return on investment from the SOC Consortium construct.

Throughout SOC’s history, partici-pating institutions have proudly com-municated their commitment to serving military students and veterans. Photos of graduation ceremonies conducted under the shade of military tents speak volumes about the dedication and commitment of SOC colleges to deliver on their promise of not merely degree completion, but degree recognition and personal achievement. Though the SOC Consortium will be dis-solved, the institutional commitment to military students and veterans of the par-ticipating colleges will continue to thrive and provide vital support to servicemem-bers and their family members in their educational pursuits.

Deciding what college or university to attend can be a very difficult decision. Pro-spective students are always encouraged to verify some basic information, including:

• School eligibility for DoD education funds and/or Post-9/11 GI Bill funds

• School accreditation• Whether a school offers the degree

program you are seeking • Whether a school meets your needs of

classroom instruction with online options or hybrid learning

Beyond those important points, what does a student need to look for to make a final decision? Prospective students should look at the student services schools provide to military and veteran students. The qual-ity of student services can be the difference between a hassle-free college experience and graduation, or a four-year grind working through school and VA funding issues, late tuition payments and financial headaches.

single point oF ContaCt

One quick way to determine if the school is prepared to properly assist is to ask who the school has identified as the point of contact for military or VA issues once you become a student. Schools should provide a single point of contact to either help you directly or help direct you to the right department and, ideally, to the right person who can provide resolution or resources to support you. Be sure to follow up and call the school repre-sentative. Ask if they attended the school, if they served in the military and if they used the Post-9/11 GI Bill or another VA education funding source. This can be an indicator of the quality of support that you can expect once you become a student.

Someone who has successfully attended the school using VA benefits will be able to expertly guide you through the process and provide the details needed to successfully follow behind them with the fewest missteps. Conversely, someone who has no military background, no experience using education benefits or has not attended the school may not be as well-equipped to assist.

CertiFying oFFiCials

Another area to investigate when look-ing at student services is the financial aid and VA certification departments. Again, be sure to have the school identify who, by name, will be the point of contact for your benefits and get that individual’s phone number and email address. Generally, this person will be associated with the financial aid department and be called the VA certify-ing official. This is true for either online or campus-based schools.

Get in touch with the VA certifying official and learn as much as you can about how and, more importantly, when the school will process your course registra-tion status in the VA website for submitting educational paperwork, VA-Once. A school that processes your course registration as early as possible will ensure your funds are dispersed quickly and predictably. Some schools even offer front-of-the-line course registration privileges to veteran students to expedite processing. Timely processing will ensure you receive your monthly hous-ing allowance (MHA) quickly so you can pay your rent or mortgage on time. Late processing by the school will almost always result in late payments.

Don’t be afraid to ask what the school’s policy is if VA payments are late. Ideally, some schools may provide a grace period

for VA-funded students to accommodate the VA processing time. Some schools try to bridge the gap by offering short-term loans to students until VA payments arrive. This, in turn, leads to additional paperwork and paying interest or penalties if there is a problem with VA funds dispersal.

orientation

It’s recommended to attend a campus tour or orientation, either on campus or online. The ideal situation is for the school to provide a resource who is both a current or former student and a veteran. Ask what per-centage of the student body is in the military, veterans or family members. Schools should have this information or be able to get it for you. Ask what percentage of the faculty and staff is veteran- or military-affiliated. Request to speak with other student vets or a vet staff member. Be cautious if the school cannot answer these questions.

Selecting a school needs to be done with care and the most information you can gather. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The school should be prepared to answer your queries and provide specific informa-tion related to student support services and student veteran support in particular. Mak-ing the effort to learn as much as possible about a school up front will result in far higher chances of having a successful college experience. O

Welcome to Military Advanced Education’s 2015 Guide to Colleges & Universities.

Now in its eighth year of publishing the guide, MAE was the first publication to launch a reference tool of this type. MAE has been improving the process every year in order to provide our men and women in uniform information that will help them make the right choices about college. Our goal in designing this extensive survey was to take into consideration the best practices in military and veteran education that are most relevant to you, the prospective student.

Color-coded dashboards throughout the guide display the results of our survey. They consist of six gauges representing key categories of consideration to servicemembers, veterans, their spouses and dependents: Military Culture, Financial Assistance, Flexibility, General Support, Online Support and On-campus Support.

You’ll also notice that we have added information about the types of degree programs each school offers. Students have unique needs, and schools offer a variety of program deliveries to serve those needs. We asked institutions to identify if the programs they offer are 100% online, 100% on campus, or hybrid (a blend of both online and on campus).

It is important to note that we could only evaluate the information that was provided; each institution was responsible for disclosure. Responses to the survey questions were assigned weights to reflect their relative importance within each of the six categories, and were then totaled to determine their score for that gauge. Each dashboard gauge has a shaded background that shows the maximum potential points for that category.

Against that background is a darker bar which shows how many points that school achieved.

You’ll see that we have included the results for all schools that responded to our questionnaire. We believe that having as much data as possible will help prospective students make a well-informed decision about which school best suits their needs. Although we are not ranking schools in the guide, we have recognized the schools that exhibited best practices in military and veteran education with an MAE 2015 Top School logo for use in their promotional materials.

As in previous years, all institutions were judged based on the same criteria; we did not judge private, public, for-profit, not-for-profit, four-year or two-year colleges separately because we believe that regardless of size or degrees granted, any school can make an effort to better serve those who have served our nation.

In addition to our published guide, we have lots of extra details about each institution available on our online database of schools. Visit www.mae-kmi.com to view our searchable database, access and review all of the survey answers from all of the participating institutions, and see all the information MAE used in evaluating submissions. The database is searchable by school name, state, online campus or brick-and-mortar campus. This tool is invaluable for comparing and contrasting the schools on your list of consideration.

Good luck to you in the next stage of your academic journey.

compiled by Kmi media Group staffCLASS NOTES

In early November, the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU) filed suit challenging the U.S. Department of Education’s new gainful employment regulations.

The regulations apply to vocational programs, including most of the for-profit sector’s offerings. Non-degree programs at community colleges would also need to comply with the rules, which are set to go into effect in July 2015. Some non-degree programs at four-year nonprofit institu-tions, both public and private, would also need to comply.

According to the Department of Education, the law requires that in order to receive federal student aid, most for-profit programs, regardless of credential level, and most non-degree programs at nonprofit and public institutions, including community colleges, prepare students for “gainful employment in a recognized occu-pation.” These regulations set the stan-dards for “gainful employment” programs to remain eligible to accept federal student aid grants and loans.

The framework of the final regulations has two components: accountability and transparency. The accountability component

distinguishes programs that provide afford-able training that leads to well-paying jobs from programs that leave students with poor earnings prospects and high amounts of debt, while the transparency element requires institutions to provide key infor-mation for consumers.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said that an estimated 1,400 academic programs that enroll 840,000 students would fail to meet the standards with their current performance. He said that 99 percent of those programs are at for-profit schools.

However, APSCU says the gainful employment rule is illegal and arbitrary.

“This regulation, and the impact it will have on student access and opportu-nity, is so unacceptable and in violation of federal law that we were left with no choice but to file suit. If successful, our suit will protect student access and opportunity to higher education at a time when the U.S. Department of Education seems inter-ested in limiting choices for students by closing private-sector programs,” said Steve Gunderson, president and CEO of APSCU.

APSCU says the department’s gainful employment regulations prohibit students

enrolled in programs at certain institutions of higher education—primarily private-sector institutions—from receiving federal student aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1985 unless the program satisfies what APSCU says is a biased and arbitrary earnings metric.

The debt-to-earnings metric is set at 8 percent, which APSCU says is a level that would disqualify a law degree from George Washington University Law School, a bachelor’s in hospitality administration from Stephen F. Austin State University and a bachelor’s in social work from University of Texas. Further, according to the depart-ment’s own data, 43 percent of graduates from public colleges and 56 percent from private non-profit colleges would fail the metric.

However, Duncan countered, “Career colleges must be a stepping stone to the middle class. But too many hardworking students find themselves buried in debt with little to show for it. That is simply unac-ceptable. These regulations are a neces-sary step to ensure that colleges accepting federal funds protect students, cut costs and improve outcomes. We will continue to take action as needed.”

Raytheon Company and Student Veterans of America awarded three $10,000 scholar-ships to military veterans studying cybersecurity and engineering, and also opened applications for a new scholarship being offered to Army student veterans.

The Raytheon/SVA scholar-ship, now in its second year, marks the organizations’ shared mission to help veterans succeed in civilian life through the study of science, technology, engineering and math. The new scholarship, called

the Raytheon Patriot scholarship, will provide $10,000 to three Army student veterans pursuing grad-uate or undergraduate degrees at accredited universities who demonstrate leadership in their local communities.

The Raytheon/SVA scholar-ship recipients are:

• Damien Calderon, 26, an Army veteran studying mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin

• Megan Freeman, 29, a Navy veteran studying computer science at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas

• Edward Thiemann, 34, an Air Force veteran pursuing a Ph.D. in remote sensing at the University of Colorado Boulder.

“We appreciate Raytheon’s ongoing support of our efforts to empower student veterans, and we’ve found three uniquely talented people among a field

of excellent applicants,” said D. Wayne Robinson, president and CEO of Student Veterans of America. “These scholarships will help them build upon the exper-tise and training they received while serving their country and pursue careers that are successful and rewarding.”

Army veterans interested in the Raytheon Patriot scholarship can apply on the Student Veterans of America website. The applica-tion process will close February 1, 2015.

Scholarships Help Veterans Pursue STEM Careers


Allison Hickey was appointed Under Secretary for Benefits in the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2011. In this position, she leads more than 20,000 employees in the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) in the delivery of a wide range of integrated programs of non-medical benefits and services to more than 12 million veterans, servicemembers, their families and survivors.

Through a nationwide network of 56 regional offices, special processing centers and VBA headquarters, she directs the admin-istration of seven distinct lines of business: VA’s disability com-pensation, pension and fiduciary, education, home loan guaranty, vocational rehabilitation and employment, life insurance, and transition assistance programs, with an annual budget of more than $94 billion.

Prior to joining VA, Hickey led a human capital management program at Accenture for the intelligence community, including the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. She served 27 years in the United States Air Force on active duty, in the Air National Guard and in the Air Force Reserve, retiring with the rank of brigadier general as the director of the Air Force’s Future Total Force office at the Pentagon.

Q: What are some of the newer tools VA is offering veterans to help them choose a college that meets their goals and expecta-tions?

A: We want veterans to be informed consumers first and GI Bill users second. VA has several tools in place to achieve this goal. In August 2014, VA released an updated version of our GI Bill Comparison Tool packed with new functionality. This new version prepopulates the tuition and fees from the Department of Educa-tion’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and provides a personalized estimate of Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition and fees, monthly housing allowance and book stipend payments to the student. Also available are each school’s graduation rate, student loan default rate and participation in the Yellow Ribbon program, the President’s Principles of Excellence and the Depart-ment of Education’s 8 Keys to Veteran Success. The Principles of Excellence and the 8 Keys to Veterans Success are sets of guide-lines that schools voluntarily agree to follow in providing support to veterans attending their schools.

We released the third edition of our “Choosing the Right School” decision guide, at http://benefits.va.gov/gibill/docs/fact-sheets/Choosing_a_School.pdf, that provides prospective students

with advice on what to look for and what questions to ask when considering their education prospects. This new addition includes updated resources for veterans and information on financing education.

Another tool we offer which helps narrow the school search is the CareerScope, offered through the GI Bill website. The Career-Scope interest assessment helps potential students determine what careers they may enjoy and be successful doing and what courses or training programs are needed to pursue those careers.

Q: As you look over the maturation of the Post-9/11 GI Bill over the last three years during your tenure as under secretary, what are some of the things you are proud of regarding this benefit?

A: With the passage of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, a “new GI Bill for a new era,” the education benefits VA provided were dramatically expanded to a degree not seen since the World War II-era GI Bill.

Instead of a couple thousand dollars per month paid to a student, we began to pay thousands in tuition and fees directly to schools, and thousands to veterans, spouses and children for a monthly housing allowance and a books and supplies stipend.

Benefits BoosterLeading VA in Supporting Servicemembers and Veterans.

Q&AQ&A

Before 2009, VA only made GI Bill payments directly to students. VA responded immediately to this chal-lenge, and we felt privileged to provide expanded benefits to so many deserving veterans. VA was called upon to develop complex regulations, an all-new payment system that required over 5,000 new business rules and a national advertising campaign to let everyone know about this amazing new bene-fit, which has already paid out more than $46 billion and counting to more than 1.3 million veterans and their families. I am justifiably proud of our success.

We took a benefit that was different than any we had administered before and built a system that presently lets us process more than half of our enrollments via automated means; nearly half our work isn’t touched by a human and is processed entirely by computer. This results in faster and more accurate payment of benefits, and the program continues to improve. VA processed nearly 4.4 mil-lion claims last fiscal year, and 48 percent of them were completed in less than five days. For students already known, VA processed these payments on average in 5.9 days—a 39 percent improvement over fiscal year 2013, thanks in part to 84 percent of these cases being automated. For new students just entering school for the first time using Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, the 16.7 day average was a 36 percent improvement over the previous year. We are thrilled our quality assurance program that spot-checks claims decisions shows accuracy approaching 99 percent.

I am also proud that VA has established a more holistic approach in helping veterans transition into civilian society. Through adjuncts to the Post-9/11 GI Bill like counseling services, interest aptitude testing and the GI Bill Comparison Tool that lets veterans make informed choices, we are assisting veterans not only in obtaining an education but also with integrating into a fulfilling role in civilian society.

Q: There have been concerns voiced in recent years about some schools that may not always deliver the experience and sup-port veteran students expected. Now that you’ve had an online complaint system in place through 2014 to date, what have you learned about the concerns of students who have had problems?

A: VA’s Post-Secondary Education Complaint System has provided valuable information about the major concerns of our veteran stu-dents. For example, students have reported that they are surprised that credits they’ve earned won’t transfer to other schools. VA and the state approving agencies continue to work closely with all schools to ensure that their catalogs provide factual information regarding transfer of credit. We encourage students to utilize VA’s GI Bill Comparison Tool to make sure they are making the best choices for where to attend school.

Q: Student Veterans of America’s Million Records Project ear-lier this year offered insight into completion rates for veterans,

announcing that preliminary data showed similarity with other college students and better rates than other non-traditional stu-dents. Is VA expecting more insight to completion information in the new year?

A: Yes, in a collaborative interagency effort, the Department of Education (ED), VA and the Department of Defense developed a set of outcome measures to capture important information about veterans’ experiences during school, upon completion of a degree or certificate, and post-graduation using existing administrative data. An additional set of outcome measures and, in some cases, data from additional systems were identified for further analysis and exploration. An integrated project team comprised of repre-sentatives of VA’s Education Service and Office of Performance Analysis and Integrity has been working to make outcome mea-sure data readily available to the beneficiaries and administrators of education benefits to gauge the effectiveness of current educa-tion benefit programs.

Q: We often tend to look at the Post-9/11 GI Bill in terms of four-year colleges, but what are some of the other ways our readers might think about using their benefit?

A: The GI Bill isn’t just for traditional four-year colleges; you can also use it to go to a vocational or technical school, or for on-the-job training and apprenticeships. You can train to be a firefighter, a chef, a truck driver and much more. VA has more than 30,000 approved programs that include these kinds of career options. Again, using the GI Bill Comparison Tool, students can type in keywords such as “police officer” and locate programs associated with that career.

Q: We sometimes hear about predatory marketing and questions raised about certain for-profit schools. You mentioned the online complaint system and other smart-consumer features already, but who decides whether a school should be on the list for veter-ans to use benefits there?

A: Schools that are approved for VA benefits have gone through an approval process with their associated state approving agencies. Each state has a state approving agency responsible for ensur-ing that schools meet the criteria for GI Bill approval, including offering quality education and complying with all state and federal laws. Additionally, VA and the state approving agencies conduct compliance surveys at schools to review their enrollment and cer-tification processes. Schools that are not in compliance are subject to suspension and may not be allowed to continue enrolling stu-dents who use VA education benefits such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Q: If veterans find they are having trouble “fitting in” to campus and are a bit adrift concerning goals for their civilian life and how to use education benefits to pursue them, where can they turn?

A: VA offers education and career counseling services, as well as an online aptitude test free of charge for all veterans. We work with school certifying officials and military partners to make this information available to all eligible beneficiaries throughout their military career and after separation. We provide several resources on our website for veterans, as well as school certifying officials, to assist vets in making career decisions and adjustments to civil-ian life.

We also have VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) locations at nearly 100 campuses across the country that provide outreach and transition services to veterans, servicemembers and their qualified dependents through a coordinated delivery of on-campus benefits assistance and counseling. We have partnered with other govern-ment agencies as well as veterans service organizations to provide a multi-layered support network for anyone seeking assistance, be it mental health resources, aptitude testing or employment assistance.

Q: We see that the website and other materials now display a trademark registration on the GI Bill name. Can you elaborate on that and tell us if VA has enforced its trademark to date?

A: President Obama signed Executive Order 13607, “Principles of Excellence,” directing VA to take measures aimed at stopping deceptive and misleading promotional efforts that target the GI Bill educational benefits. As a part of this effort, VA applied for, and was

granted, a trademark to protect the use of the phrase “GI Bill.” As of October 16, 2012, “GI Bill” is officially a registered trademark owned by VA.

We are committed to enforcing our trademark, and have researched, drafted and published Terms of Use guidelines for internal and external stakeholders in collaboration with the Department of Justice. VA’s GI Bill outreach development team is responsible for enforcement. Currently, there are four outstand-ing trademark violations referred to VA’s general counsel for legal action. We were also successful in obtaining the removal of some Facebook pages violating our Terms of Use by purporting an affili-ation with VA and promoting the GI Bill.

Q: Is there a forum or place for veterans/beneficiaries to come together and ask questions or discuss their experiences with the GI Bill?

A: We host an interactive GI Bill Facebook page at www.facebook.com/gibillEducation, where VA employees answer questions about the GI Bill and encourage community discussion among our beneficiaries. We also post breaking announcements and feature stories about veterans using their GI Bill benefits in the real world. Our continuing “success stories” series shares information about those who have used GI Bill benefits—education, home loan and vocational rehabilitation and employment (VR&E)—to success-fully transition from military to civilian life.

7th Annual National Conference

San Antonio, Texas // January 8 - 11, 2015


Advisory Councils on Military Educa-tion (ACMEs) are becoming an important regional connection for the Voluntary Edu-cation community. ACME members usually include base education counselors, ESOs, directors, school representatives and ancil-lary military support personnel, such as family services and MWR and USO repre-sentatives. Each military region is unique in its mission, educational opportunities and operational schedules. There are common concerns among these ACMEs, but like any community, there are different concerns indigenous to each geographic region. DoD cutbacks and the downsizing of the mili-tary are creating a real need to answer the dynamic concerns in higher education and the military.

The concept of the ACME began in Cali-fornia in 1972 when a group of military base ESOs decided to meet annually and discuss best practices. By 1994, it was clear there was a national interest in what California had done in forming a discussion group to allow those involved in military higher education to be better informed and to best advise military students and their families. Those groups included school representatives so that the voice of the military could be better heard and understood by academia and to allow schools to better adapt to the needs of this community. The birth of CCME made the regional organization into an interna-tional forum that meets annually today.

However, regional needs cannot always be addressed in detail, nor can regional

personnel always participate in an annual national conference. Not only have there been profound cutbacks within DoD, but universities and other schools have recently seen these cutbacks affect their own bottom line. They, too, are cutting back overhead expenses and are now looking to the local ACMEs to better support the military higher education community. State organizations such as VA-ACME (Virginia), FL-ACME (Flor-ida), and even COMETS (Arkansas, Louisi-ana, Oklahoma and Texas) have seen more growth and interest in recent years. They have reached back out to the ESOs, counsel-ors and local representatives to provide a very low-cost but effective forum to address the rapidly changing needs of the military and veteran community.

These ACMEs are interested in making connections that are personal and effective for their military clients. By better under-standing the military and inviting military representatives to speak to specific concerns, the local bases are better positioned to han-dle and advise students. The academic com-munity needs to understand the specific issues faced by military members and their families, as well as how the changes within DoD can be best addressed. Local community colleges and universities are becoming better informed and are now considering the JST/CCAF college credit and how ACE deliberates on those credit hours. They are stepping up and considering better platforms in teaching the military and veteran community, such as online and hybrid class formats.

Additionally, these ACMEs often pro-vide much-needed scholarship dollars, especially for family members who may have to sacrifice their own professional and educational opportunities in support of the servicemember. VA-ACME has provided over $83,000 in scholarships in the past eight years. Recipients of these scholarships include active duty members who can use these funds for additional classes not paid for through TA dollars and family members desperate to keep up with ridiculous jumps in college tuition.

Every ACME has a common mission to support the military academic and vocational community in a cooperative, informed forum. It is imperative to support and keep these ACMEs viable and accessible to the military academic community. O

Note from Jim Yeonopolus, CCME presi-dent: I would like to thank Nora Graves, assistant director, Norfolk region of UMUC, and president of VA-ACME, for her insight-ful article on the importance of ACMEs.

UNIVERSITY CORNER Military Advanced Education

Kurt JohnsonDirector of Military Strategy and Relations

Colorado Technical University

Q: Please provide a brief overview of your school’s history, mission and curriculum.

A: Colorado Technical University (CTU) was established in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1965 to support the educational goals of students from five nearby military bases. Since then, CTU has grown into a network of technologically advanced campuses and online degree programs designed to pro-vide flexible and accessible higher educa-tion options.

The mission of CTU, an institution of higher learning, is to provide career-ori-ented education by teaching applied, real-world, industry-current programs to meet the needs of our students for employment and of employers for a well-educated work-force. CTU aims to make college degrees flexible, accessible and rewarding to mili-tary students, veterans and their spouses.

Q: What is your school’s background in military education?

A: CTU has a long-standing reputation for helping servicemembers, veterans and their families achieve their academic goals.

With more than 30 percent of the stu-dent population made up of military and veteran students and their spouses, CTU has helped thousands of students reach their educational and career goals in doz-ens of industries, and continues to update curricula and develop degree programs to better serve the military. CTU’s dedicated military department is committed to build-ing relationships on military bases across the country, as well as providing superior service to our students through trained specialists who understand military proto-col and procedure.

CTU is proud to have been included in Military Advanced Education’s Guide to Colleges & Universities since 2008.

Q: What makes your school unique in the benefits and programs you offer to mili-tary servicemembers?

A: By having a dedicated military team to navigate benefits, financial aid, transfer credit and more, CTU is able to provide guidance and support for the military community, including servicemembers transitioning to civilian life and military spouses. CTU aims to make the deci-sion to go back to school an easy one for all segments of the military community. CTU is a Department of Defense memo-randum of understanding participant and offers branch-specific programs, such as the General Education Mobile program for members of the Air Force.

Additionally, CTU annually awards the Wounded Warrior Scholarship to 25 wounded servicemembers and 25 spouses of wounded servicemembers in an effort to provide opportunities to those who are either receiving rehabilitation services or are caring for a spouse during recovery.

Q: What are some of your most popular programs, and which ones are the most appealing to military students?

A: CTU offers more than 100 degree pro-grams and concentrations in business, project management, security studies, health care, information technology, engi-neering and computer science across asso-ciate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. One of our most popular degrees is the Master of Business Administration,

which was ranked as a top program glob-ally in 2012.

For military students, popular degree programs include our Associate of Science in general studies, Bachelor of Science in busi-ness administration, Bachelor of Science in criminal justice and Bachelor of Science in information technology.

At the graduate level, CTU’s Master of Science in cybersecurity policy, Master of Science in homeland security and Doc-tor of Computer Science are also popular among military students. These programs are offered on our ground campuses, online or a combination of both. CTU understands the mobile lifestyle of many military families and, through hybrid learning and online degree programs, offers the flexibility to earn a degree anytime, anywhere.

Descriptions of all of CTU’s degree pro-grams and concentrations can be found at coloradotech.edu/degrees.

Q: What is your school doing to keep up with growing technologies and opportuni-ties related to distance learning?

A: CTU received a 2014 WCET Outstand-ing Work (WOW) award from the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies for its Intellipath adaptive learning technol-ogy for implementing exceptionally creative, technology-based solutions to contemporary challenges in higher education. Intellipath does away with the one-size-fits-all approach to education by providing students with their own personalized learning path.

Through a series of questions, adaptive learning technology recognizes what you already know, anticipates what you’re ready to learn and enables CTU faculty to optimize learning paths to address any competency gaps.

Aside from continuing to utilize Intel-lipath, CTU regularly updates curricula and develops degree programs to better serve the military. Visit coloradotech.edu/military or call 1-866-396-1726 to learn more about CTU. O
