What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on National University College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. According to the VA, there are 22 GI Bill® students at National University College. With a total enrollment of 25,881, about 8.5% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 0.8% of all students at National University College, per U.S. Department of Education data.

If you have specialized military training, National University College 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 National University College about credit for life experience, CLEP and similar exams, or other prior learning beyond military training.
National University College does not offer Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs.
