Veteran Survey: Enrollment of Fall 1975.
Campbell, William J.
Rockland Community College (RCC) sent questionnaires to all 694 veterans enrolled at the college in the fall 1975 semester; 581 (83.7 percent) responded. Results indicated that the average veteran enrolled at RCC is 35.9 years old, takes 10.5 credits per semester, and has earned 19.1 credits to date. Additional findings show that: (1) over 95 percent of the respondents are married and have an average of 3.7 children; (2) over 89 percent work, of whom 97 percent work at least 35 hours per week; (3) the majority of the veterans chose their majors from three areas--Criminal Justice, Business, and Liberal Arts; (4) 46 percent attend evening classes exclusively, whereas 32.3 percent attend both day and evening classes; (5) some veterans receive additional financial assistance from other sources; and (6) over 41 percent are uncertain whether or not they will continue their studies after their VA benefits expire and 9.2 percent definitely will not continue when this happens.
