Info in This Veterans Report on UACCB:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Based on VA records, there are 36 GI Bill® students at UACCB. As the school’s total enrollment is 788, approximately 4.6% of 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
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 | 66.7% | 58.8% |
