What’s Covered in Our Report on RCBC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 317 GI Bill® students at RCBC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 6,174, about 5.1% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veterans make up 0.9% of the student body at RCBC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
