MASON CITY — North Iowa Area Community College has earned the 2025-2026 Military Friendly School designation. Institutions earning the designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by the data-driven military marketing company Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community.
Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, degree advancement or transfer, and loan default rates for all students, and specifically, for student veterans.
