by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Bethany Lutheran College veteran students to support your research.

Our Veterans Report on BLC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 16 GI Bill® students at BLC. With a total enrollment of 682, approximately 2.3% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.

BLC might grant college credit to those who have completed specialized military training. Ask the admissions office how this applies to you. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Beyond military training, ask BLC whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
