Our Veterans Report on Duquesne:
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 249 GI Bill® students at Duquesne. Because the school enrolls 5,216, approximately 4.8% of 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.
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.
