The U.S. Education Department on Tuesday published a report on the status of military service members and veterans in higher education just before the Post-9/11 GI Bill took effect, providing a baseline from which the growth in veterans' involvement in higher education can be measured. The report offers a statistical portrait of the service members and veterans enrolled as undergraduates and graduate students in 2007-8 and compares them to their non-military peers. In total, service members and veterans made up about 4 percent of all enrolled students at that point, they were more likely to be male than were other students, and they were more likely than others to study at private nonprofit four-year institutions, pursue bachelor’s degrees, take a distance education course, and study computer and information sciences.
