Inside This Veterans Report on UACCM:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 65 GI Bill® students at UACCM. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,538, nearly 4.2% 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.
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.
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 | 50.0% | 41.1% |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
