by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. Here we lay out the facts about Mott Community College veteran students to support your research.

What’s Covered in Our Report on MCC:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Per VA data, there are 132 GI Bill® students at MCC. As the school’s total enrollment is 5,152, approximately 2.6% of the students 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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. Veteran students account for 0.5% of all students at MCC, 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 | 5.3% | 15.4% |
| Transfer-out rate | 44.7% | — |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.

If you have specialized military training, MCC may take that into consideration and grant college credit for it. Reach out to admissions for the specifics. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Check with MCC about credit for life experience, CLEP and similar exams, or other prior learning beyond military training.
