What’s Covered in Our Report on CSN:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 1,587 GI Bill® students at CSN. Since the total enrollment at the school is 27,790, roughly 5.7% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, 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 0.7% of all students at CSN, based on College Scorecard data.
