The Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Davis, has been designated a “military-friendly school” by G.I. Jobs, a magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life. The 2012 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students. The 2012 list was compiled through extensive research and a data driven survey of more than 8,000 schools nationwide.

A revamped GI Bill, the federal Yellow Ribbon Program, and the MBA Veterans Network and Operation MBA, sponsored by the Graduate Management Admissions Council, have served to improve funding and resources available to veterans who want to pursue graduate education, and the GSM is an active partner in the programs. The School also waives the MBA application fee for current members and veterans of the armed services.
