Info in This Veterans Report on RSC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 645 GI Bill® students at RSC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,546, nearly 14.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. About 1.2% of all students at RSC, based on College Scorecard data.

If you have specialized military training, RSC may take that into consideration and grant college credit for it. Ask the admissions office how this applies to you. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Beyond military training, ask RSC whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
There are no ROTC programs offered at RSC.
