Info in This Veterans Report on Academy College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. According to the VA, there are 55 GI Bill® students at Academy College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 112, about 49.1% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.

Beyond military training, ask Academy College whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
