POTSDAM -- Clarkson University has been selected as a "Top School" in the 2017 Guide to Colleges & Universities for measuring best practices in military and veteran education by Military Advanced Education & Transition (MAE&T).

Clarkson provides full tuition benefits to qualifying post-9-11 active duty service members, veterans and eligible dependents of military personnel under the federal government’s Yellow Ribbon Program.

The school’s Army and Air Force ROTC units have been recognized in Washington Monthly Magazine among the top universities in its annual college guide for the percentage of students serving in ROTC. These programs also allow students from SUNY Potsdam, SUNY Canton and St. Lawrence University to serve as cadets, alongside students from Clarkson, which supports the program, school officials said.

In the fall, Clarkson was designated a Military Friendly School for the seventh consecutive year by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs, STEM Jobs and Military Spouse.

The guide presents results of a questionnaire of the military-supportive policies enacted at hundreds of institutions, including private, public, for-profit, not-for-profit, four-year, and two-year colleges.
