What’s Covered in Our Report on ICC:
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 149 GI Bill® students at ICC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,018, nearly 3.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 47.1% | 47.8% |
| Transfer-out rate | 5.9% | — |
