by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. We’ve assembled this report on California Institute of the Arts veterans so you can make an informed choice.

Info in This Veterans Report on CalArts:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. The VA reports that there are 22 GI Bill® students at CalArts. Because the school enrolls 881, about 2.5% of those enrolled are 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
