Florida Atlantic University was named to G.I. Jobs magazine's list of Military Friendly Schools for 2012, based on research and a recent survey conducted of more than 8,000 schools.

"The faculty and staff of FAU take as much pride in serving our military and veteran students as these students did in serving our country," said Charles Brown, senior vice president for student affairs at FAU. "They deserve all the opportunities that higher education has to offer."

FAU was recognized based on its financial as well as non-financial efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students; actual success in recruiting and retaining military and veteran students; as well as FAU's academic accreditations.

G.I. Jobs magazine is published by Victory Media, a veteran-owned business headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa.
