Inside This Veterans Report on Erskine:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 25 GI Bill® students at Erskine. As the school’s total enrollment is 821, roughly 3.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.

Unfortunately, Erskine does not offer credit for military training. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Contact Erskine to find out if it grants credit for life experience, CLEP/standardized exams, or other prior learning.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs are not available at Erskine.
There have been no complaints registered to the VA for this college.
