by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. So we’ve gathered facts about Ohio Christian University veteran services to guide your decision.

What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on OCU:
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. The VA reports that there are 70 GI Bill® students at OCU. Given that enrollment at the school is 816, roughly 8.6% of the student body is 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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 1.2% of those enrolled at OCU, based on College Scorecard data.
