by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. Here we lay out the facts about St. John’s College veteran services to guide your decision.

What’s Covered in Our Report on St. John’s:
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. According to the VA, there are 17 GI Bill® students at St. John’s. Given that enrollment at the school is 369, around 4.6% 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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.

At this time, St. John's does not grant credit for military training. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Beyond military training, ask St. John's whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs are not available at St. John's.
This school has a clean record with no VA complaints.
