Military members and veterans represent one of the fastest-growing groups of new college students. The number of veterans going to college rose 67% from 564,487 students in 2009 (when the Post-9/11 GI Bill came to fruition) to 945,052 in 2012 (the latest year for which data is available).
Of that number, 48% are in undergraduate programs and 32% in graduate school. The remaining are in doctoral, certification or licensure programs.
