That being said, the ideal student is probably one that has a full time life and still wants to go to school. I have found the University to be extremely well fit for working professionals. The University is now regionally and nationally accredited which is wonderful - their financial aid program is superb and without superior to community college aid programs. I have attended five schools in five years and this is the only time that my financial aid went seamless and was completey understandable when relayed back to me. True, there is no real campus to go (lest you reside in the WV,VA area) but with that comes the beauty of the paperless college. You will not have to sumit countless busy papers for enrollment, you will not have to resubmit items several times before someone finally gets it. The price is steep, but only in comparison to public community school. As far as the online college community goes, the price is extremely competitive, and undergraduates have a 100% book grant - in addition, you will be reimbursed for the books that you never paid for when you go to resell them back to the book vendor. Cons - I have taken two courses that now have no physical text...only ebooks. I personally do not prefer this but many students do. The level of education has never been less than I expected. But I have had a few classes that I found very challenging. Not at an unfair level, but at a reasonable level (and most likely preferred compared to community college). The professors are nothing short of resident experts in the classes that they teach and the military specific courses are without equal. This college mandates that you complete 12 credit hours between each change of program or major, this I do not enjoy as we often find other majors that seem more appealing or more applicable to our current situation and that can change at any time. If you are a military member you will receive all of your electives as credited for undergraduate degrees based on military experience. This is very helpful and allows you to focus on the core and gened courses. Wonderful school! I'd like to see them in the Yellow Ribbon program now that the Post 9/11 GI BILL will be going in effect. I am sure that they will lose students due to the lack of payment for online schooling. But this could be subsidized if the bill was covered.

All books and materials for the courses are provided, so you only pay for tuition. This makes it quite a bargain, especially for someone using Tuition Assistance through the military or an employer. I personally enjoy the coursework, as it is interesting and thoroughly evaluates how well you understand it. There are few actual tests; you will rarely encounter multiple-choice here. You will find a great deal of essays and research papers, which some may not like. I find it more challenging, as it prevents one from just guessing his/her way through multiple-choice exams and the like. Additionally, in terms of coursework, I also enjoy the fact that every class I have taken uses several different books, and not necessarily textbooks. They are books written by experts in their field of study, and show several different perspectives and topics within the classes. In regards to extracurricular activities and that kind of thing, if that is an issue for you, AMU may not be for you because you won't find it here. For me, it is a moot point because I care about the quality of education and don't need to sit through long, boring lectures in class, and don't need or want to deal with frat parties and the like. Finally, one last comment I'll make is that AMU has a truly diverse and interesting class offering geared towards military and those interested in working in the security sector. Obviously, if you plan on majoring in something like Chemistry, it may be better to take classes at an actual campus, but if you get a degree in something like Intelligence Studies (like me), this is the place to be. The course truly is interesting and challenging, and the instructors have all been people with a great deal of experience within the military and/or intelligence field. Okay, end rant now.

Challenging coursework. Definitely worth your time. AMU has been everything I could have hoped for. I am an active duty Marine Corps Officer. Over the last 16 years, I have deployed to 26 countries and a few fights. AMU has been 100% supportive. If I had to take 6 months off because of deployments or training, I was allowed to continue where I left off. The student body is composed of professionals who are there to learn. I would suggest this University to anyone who has an active career – military or civilian. Education Quality: A+, Faculty Accessibility: A Have a Question?
