by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. This report rounds up what we know about Tennessee Wesleyan University veteran services to guide your decision.

What’s Covered in Our Report on TWU:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 30 GI Bill® students at TWU. Because the school enrolls 832, approximately 3.6% of students 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.

Earning credit for what you already know can save you time and money toward a degree. Beyond military training, ask TWU whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
