Info in This Veterans Report on Northeast:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 66 GI Bill® students at Northeast. Because the school enrolls 1,547, roughly 4.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 22.2% | 39.2% |
| Transfer-out rate | 11.1% | — |
