Nearly two dozen colleges and universities based in Indiana have been named "Military Friendly" by a national research organization. Victory Media Inc. bases the classification off of survey data on more than 10,000 schools throughout the country.

The categories with the most "weight" are: academic credibility, support on campus, admissions and orientation, graduation and retention rates, military student body composition and career outcome. To a lesser extent, it also considers factors such as government approvals, tuition assistance, flexibility and military spouse policies.

The Indiana-based schools on the list are:

• Ancilla College
• Ball State University
• Calumet College of St. Joseph
• Grace College & Seminary in Winona Lake
• Indiana State University
