What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Bay College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 55 GI Bill® students at Bay College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,100, about 5.0% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer-out rate | 42.9% | — |
