Info in This Veterans Report on Rosedale Technical College:
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 56 GI Bill® students at Rosedale Technical College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 405, nearly 13.8% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 10.7% of the student body at Rosedale Technical College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 88.2% | 79.3% |
| Transfer-out rate | 5.9% | — |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
