As the school’s total enrollment is 2,988, around 1.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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.
