My initial thought of going back to school under the conditions of a non-traditional format at AMU was quite questionable; however, after learning of AMU's relentless strive for regional accreditation in 2003, I decided to go for it. Another deciding factor was the faculty; the faculty had (still has) current real-world experience that would add value to the type of education I was looking for. I can't tell you how grateful I am to the faculty of AMU. On another note, once I graduated from AMU with a BA in Marketing, I decided to role forward into a graduate program at Colorado State University and was admitted into their MBA program. I have retired from the military service and now live in Texas and have transferred to Texas A&M University (Commerce) as a resident student in their AACSB accredited Masters program. I am exited to say that I will graduate in December 2008--a few months from now. What's my point... I would not be in my current position without AMU. I urge all of you to make an informed decision on your educational direction using available and factual information...then go for it. Non-traditional education is not for everyone, but it doesn't mean that you should wait or use excuses to satisfy failures or fears. It's imperative to keep moving forward in order to reach an intrinsic need or desire. Good luck in your personal journey.

Where I am stationed, there are plenty of local opportunities; however, none were as accommodating as AMU. The issues I have with local schools are the travel time to the campus, the fixed/inflexible schedules, and those of the faculties who are not very empathetic to your situation. The positives of AMU are it is regionally accredited, TA covers the class AND books, career related programs (mine is Space Studies), flexibility to manage your time, and most of the facility are/were in the military and very understanding. In addition, AMU is now part of the Air Force's, Air University-Associates to Baccalaureate Cooperative Program adding to the school's creditability. AMU and distance learning are great alternatives to the in-residence universities, because these allow for personal management of your most valuable resource, time. If you possess self-discipline, time-management skills, and personal accountability, AMU is an excellent choice. Collaboration/Competitive: A, Social Life: C Have a Question?
