Our Veterans Report on Peirce:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 37 GI Bill® students at Peirce. Since the total enrollment at the school is 789, around 4.7% 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. Veteran students account for 1.2% of those enrolled at Peirce, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.

Peirce might grant college credit to those who have completed specialized military training. Talk with your admissions counselor to learn more. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Beyond military training, ask Peirce whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
