What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on DeSales:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 78 GI Bill® students at DeSales. Given that enrollment at the school is 2,113, around 3.7% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.

If you have specialized military training, DeSales may take that into consideration and grant college credit for it. Ask the admissions office how this applies to you. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Beyond military training, ask DeSales whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
