Vincennes University ranks sixth on the list of two-year schools. The university cites its Military Education Program, which has served more than 75,000 military service members and offers programs and multiple military installations, as the main force behind its ranking.

Some of the factors include university culture, academic quality and outcomes, policies, student support, and cost & financial aid.
