Angelo State Named a National ‘Military Spouse Friendly School’
July 14, 2022

For the seventh straight year, Angelo State University has been designated a “Military Spouse Friendly® School” for creating and sustaining strong programs and policies that address the needs and concerns of military spouses and their families as students.
According to Military Friendly, the Military Spouse Friendly® Schools list has been a reliable resource for military spouses and has set a standard for higher education institutions to provide the best post-secondary education experiences for spouses of service members since 2009.
To determine the Military Spouse Friendly® Schools list each year, a vast amount of data is collected from the Military Friendly® survey and various federal agencies. Schools are carefully selected based on their overall accommodations toward students in the military, academic credibility, academic support, career planning resources, flexibility, military family support, campus support systems, federal approval, and population percentages and outcomes.
Selected schools have constructed their admissions, retention, career counseling and mentoring programs to help alleviate the difficulties faced by military spouses. They also provide flexible learning options and degree continuation programs that are designed to accommodate deployments and relocation.
ASU’s programs for military and veteran students and their families are overseen by the Office of Affiliated Military and Veteran Services, which is housed in the Veterans Educational and Transitional Services (VETS) Center in the Houston Harte University Center.
