What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on RCU:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. According to the VA, there are 16 GI Bill® students at RCU. With a total enrollment of 827, nearly 1.9% 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.

If you have specialized military training, RCU may take that into consideration and grant college credit for it. 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 RCU whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
