CINCINNATI, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second consecutive year, the Brown Mackie College family of schools has received the honor and was selected as a Military Friendly school by G.I. Jobs Magazine. The school system now appears on the 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools honoring the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools which are doing the most to embrace America's veterans as students.
