What’s Covered in Our Report on STC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 132 GI Bill® students at STC. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,023, approximately 6.5% of those enrolled 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 100.0% | 78.0% |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.

STC may consider your military experience and award college credit. Ask the admissions office how this applies to you. Prior-learning credit can help you graduate sooner, so it pays to ask. Beyond military training, ask STC whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
