Given that enrollment at the school is 2,144, about 4.9% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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.
