Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Valley Forge Military College fell from 11 to 9 (-18%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Arson (1 to 0), Burglary (8 to 7) and Rape (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Valley Forge Military College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Arson and Rape. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Fondling, Incest, Motor Vehicle Theft and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

- six-year earnings to median debt
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $36,080 - about 5.6 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. 95% of students complete within six years, which is high and means the published price is what most students actually pay through to a credential.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
