MISSOULA – A national organization recently named the University of Montana the No. 1 “Military Friendly” college in the United States. The ranking is for top “tier-1 research institutions.”

The Military Friendly Schools list is compiled each year from data collected from 8,800 schools nationwide. Input is provided by student veterans and a Military Friendly survey by participating institutions.

The top showing wasn’t a surprise for Tanner Liermann, a Marine Corps veteran and UM wildlife biology major preparing to graduate this spring. A native of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, Liermann came to UM on the G.I. Bill in 2022.
