What’s Covered in Our Report on Cornell College:
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. Per VA data, there are 32 GI Bill® students at Cornell College. Because the school enrolls 1,074, around 3.0% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.

Cornell College might grant college credit to those who have completed specialized military training. Talk with your admissions counselor to learn more.

Beyond military training, ask Cornell College whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
