Clark State Community College has been named as one of the Nation’s Top Military Friendly Schools for the second consecutive year, according the college.

“For the second year in a row, Clark State has been a Top Ten Military Friendly School,” Diana Seaman, registrar at Clark State said in a news release. “This year we are ranked number four out of 10 in the nation and the only Ohio school to receive the top-ten designation in the small community college category.”

The list of final ratings, identified by VIQTORY, a veteran owned business that connects the military community to civilian opportunities, are determined combining the college’s survey scores and the ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence, and loan default rates for students, the release says.

“Supporting our veteran and military student populations continues to be a top priority for Clark State,” Seaman said.
