UNC Charlotte has earned a 2021-22 Military Friendly​ ​School Silver Award for its commitment to military service members, veterans and their dependents.

A change from last year’s bronze designation, Silver denotes the extent to which the University exceeds the benchmark standards for the publication’s survey.

The University has over 1,200 veteran students, faculty and staff on campus, according to the Veterans Services Office (VSO). This includes a large number who are pursuing graduate and undergraduate programs through the Belk College of Business.

Benefits for military veterans include:

  • GMAT waiver for business graduate programs, including Belk College’s MBA program, the no. 1 part-time MBA among North Carolina public universities.

  • GI Bill – applicable toward business graduate programs.

  • The Commander F.M. (Mike) Reynolds Veterans Scholarship.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Schools designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey completed by the school. More than 1,200 schools participated in the 2021-22 survey.

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.
