Central Community College Ranks Second in Military Friendly Schools for 2024-25

Central Community College (CCC) has secured a second-place ranking in the 2024-25 Military Friendly School rankings for small community colleges, improving from sixth place last year. This ranking reflects CCC's commitment to supporting military and veteran students. The rankings evaluate over 1,800 institutions based on public data and survey responses, recognizing 537 for their performance.

Barry Horner, the director of veterans and military services at CCC, stated the college's dedication to helping veterans transition to civilian life. He highlighted CCC's educational programs and benefits designed specifically for veterans to help them meet their academic goals.

The Military Friendly School designation considers factors like student retention, graduation rates, job placement, loan repayment, and persistence in education. CCC's performance in these areas, especially for veteran students, has contributed to its high ranking.

CCC provides support for military personnel and their families through resource centers located in Columbus, Grand Island, Hastings, and the Kearney Center. These centers offer help with military education benefits, transferring credits, scholarships, career planning, and registration.
