Because the school enrolls 1,890, approximately 58.2% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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).
