Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright For a military member in a time of instability due to deployments, TDYs, and more work with fewer resources, AMU is an excellent alternative to traditional schools. 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?

Some folks have concerns about accreditiation and have susggested looking at websites to check out AMU's accrediation. If they would have listed the official name of the university, American Public University System, they would have found it is regionally accredited by the North Central Association. :) If you are looking for online classes, this is the place to be..even if you are not military. The do specialize in that arena..and although someone in an earlier post stated they did not understand TA etc..had to have been a plant..because after serving 27 years in the Air Force and attending many schools, I can say they totally get it and are extremely helpful. Great school...quality education...caring professors...for undergrads they pay for all your books. I cannot say enough great things about this school.

AMU is the perfect opportunity for me to complete my degree. I am already considering going for my Master's in Conflict Resolution. I think online education/distance learning is highly undervalued in our society currently. People need to realize the amount of discipline and dedication it takes to push yourself forward. There is no one looking over your shoulder forcing you to do your work. It's important to know, for those that are considering online/distance learning, that you are in total control of your learning. If you don't like to challenge yourself AMU is not for you. If you want to be handed the answer AMU is not for you. If your the type of student that shows up for class with a voice recorder so you don't have to take notes AMU is not for you. If, on the other hand, you like to figure things out for yourself AMU IS for you. If you get annoyed when people try to give you the answer, then AMU is definately for you! I love a good puzzle. I also love material analysis and to solve a good mystery on my own. If that sounds like you visit apus.edu and register... Education Quality: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

I have had a wonderful experience. All of my Professors are down to earth and very helpful. I never have to wait for a response either. The admin staff is also helpful, as is my student advisor. Enrolling and registering for new classes each semester is easy and fast. The cost is inexpensive at only $250 a credit hour and they pay for and ship you all of your books if you are an undergrad. I would not attend any other online college (based on much research). Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: C Have a Question?
