Info in This Veterans Report on Beacon:
Beacon College was not included in this year's [Best Schools for Veterans ranking[(/rankings/veterans). This could be due to a number of reasons, including insufficent data.
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience.
The VA reports that there are 20 GI Bill® students at Beacon. Since the total enrollment at the school is 427, approximately 4.68% of the students at Beacon are utilizing the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. Putting that into perspective, the Student Veterans of America estimates that about three-four percent of all college students in America 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). This does not include active-duty military personnel who are attending the college via Tuition Assistance. Therefore, the potential total military population could be larger than this.
Unfortunately, Beacon does not offer credit for military training.
There have been no complaints registered to the VA for this college.
