As the school’s total enrollment is 6,952, roughly 4.2% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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.
