What’s Covered in Our Report on Walsh:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 47 GI Bill® students at Walsh. Because the school enrolls 1,294, roughly 3.6% of those enrolled 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.

Walsh might grant college credit to those who have completed specialized military training. Check with an admissions counselor for details. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Check with Walsh about credit for life experience, CLEP and similar exams, or other prior learning beyond military training.
