Adams State University has been designated a Military Friendly School and ranked “Gold” in the category of small public universities, the university announced Wednesday. It’s the second straight year for the school to earn the designation.
“Adams State is proud to have achieved our Military Friendly and Military Family Friendly designation,” said Mark Buck, assistant vice president for Enrollment Management. “Supporting our military, veterans and their families pursuing their educational goals is one way we can demonstrate our appreciation and gratitude to those who have served and are serving.”
The designation reflects Adams State’s commitment to serve military veterans, said Kayla Lopez, vice president of memberships for Military Friendly.
“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.”
Adams State will be showcased in the 2026-2027 Guide to Military Friendly Schools in the April issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
