What’s Covered in Our Report on UMass Dartmouth:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 222 GI Bill® students at UMass Dartmouth. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,289, around 4.2% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 0.5% of those enrolled at UMass Dartmouth, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
