Inside This Veterans Report on MAC:
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 64 GI Bill® students at MAC. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,530, around 4.2% of those enrolled 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.9% of all students at MAC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 11.1% | 42.9% |
| Transfer-out rate | 11.1% | — |
