Info in This Veterans Report on Abilene Christian:
Abilene Christian University was not ranked on the <nil> [Best Schools for Veterans list[(/rankings/veterans). This could be due to a number of reasons, including insufficent data.
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience.
The VA reports that there are 269 GI Bill® students at Abilene Christian. Since the total enrollment at the school is 5,291, approximately 5.08% of the students at Abilene Christian are utilizing the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, let's take this into consideration. According to the Student Veterans of America, approximately three to four per cent of American college students are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It does not include any active-duty military personnel that are attending this college via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger than this.
If you have specialized military training, Abilene Christian may take that into consideration and grant college credit for that. Talk with your admissions counselor to learn more.
There have been no complaints registered to the VA for this college.
