Military Times ranks Stockton one of best in state for military members

GALLOWAY — Military Times recently recognized Stockton University as one of the top schools in the state and in the Mid-Atlantic for military service members and veterans.

Stockton was ranked No. 3 in New Jersey and No. 17 in the Mid-Atlantic region. The university was No. 144 out of 215 public schools and No. 185 out of 304 schools nationwide in the rankings, which were released on Nov. 4.

“This recognition is a reflection of Stockton’s collaborative spirit, driven by passionate faculty and staff who work diligently to empower, support and celebrate military-affiliated students as they achieve personal, academic and professional excellence,” said Michael Barany, director of Stockton’s Military and Veteran Success Center (MVSC). “Stockton truly sets the bar for fostering an environment where veteran success is not just encouraged but prioritized.”

The Military Times is the trusted source for independent news and information for service members and their families. Each year, the organization sends a survey to colleges and universities across the nation asking about their programs for veterans. The survey results are then analyzed, along with public data about colleges and universities obtained from the Department of Education and Department of Veterans Affairs, and turned into an official ranking.

“This achievement is a testament to the outstanding work of the MVSC and the university’s broader community,” Barany said. “At Stockton, students are equipped with skills that extend well beyond their military experience, setting them up for long-term success. The MVSC is dedicated to providing tailored resources, guidance and opportunities that support these students’ unique journeys.”

The rankings have become a vital tool for veterans seeking guidance on maximizing their educational benefits and for schools to highlight their veteran programs.
