What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Central Oklahoma 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 54 GI Bill® students at Central Oklahoma College. With a total enrollment of 467, about 11.6% of the student body is 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.
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. Veteran students account for 3.1% of those enrolled at Central Oklahoma College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
