Park University Earns 2026-27 Top 10 Military Friendly School Designation

March 26, 2026 - Park University was notified today that it has earned a 2026-27 Military Friendly® School designation as a Top 10 school in the "Private, Not Offering Doctorate Degree" category. In addition, Park has also been recognized as a Military Spouse Friendly® School.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 3,200 schools participated in the survey. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization's survey score, public data and an assessment of the institution's ability to meet and exceed thresholds for student recruitment, retention, academic progress, graduation rates, career placement and support services for veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses.

Park University's Park Global Warrior Centeris a one-stop shop for Park's military students and families, whether on its flagship campus in Parkville, Mo., or at one of its 18 other locations across the country - 13 of which are on military bases - with online and hybrid options. Dedicated support staff with military service knowledge help these military students and families make the most of their benefits, transitioning in or out of active duty military service and finding specialized support services tailored to their needs.

"Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge of honor; it is a reflection of an institution's deep-rooted values and strategic commitment to those who served," said Kayla Lopez, Military Friendly® vice president of memberships. "These schools don't just open doors for veterans and military spouses, they build sustainable pathways for academic success and long-term impact. Their support is transformative, proving that investing in military-connected students is both a moral imperative and a standard for educational excellence."

Military Friendly® is the standard that measures an organization's commitment, effort and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for the military community. Military Friendly® is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Defense or the federal government.
