Our Veterans Report on UMO:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 220 GI Bill® students at UMO. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,754, nearly 12.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.

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