I was an active duty military member (and also deployed) when I completed AMU's BA-Psychology program. I think that AMU is an excellent option for deployed personnel due to the extremely military-friendly setup and faculty; in short, my personal experience was quite positive and enriching. The tuition is quite inexpensive and the material can be quite stimulating for independent learners.

As the vast majority of students are active military (or dependents), don't expect a great deal of open-mindedness or intellectual debate amongst the student body; a great deal of bigotry and ignorance was often readily apparent to me during my interactions with fellow students. While about 50% of the students I interacted with exhibited these negative qualities, the faculty was (fortunately) very helpful and intellectually stimulating; basically, one's experience at AMU can be quite positive if one can get past the fundamentalist/homophobic/sexist/chauvinistic half of the student body (which I am correlating with the prevalence of military members within that group of students).

I completed this program because I was bored and the military was paying for it (100% TA). This degree is not directly related to my occupation (medicine), although I definitely have found many of the topics I studied to be of some use. I have since completed my enlistment and am now pursuing higher education at a brick-and-mortar institution. If you are looking for an inexpensive (possibly free) way to improve yourself academically (and are an independent learner), then I would highly recommend AMU to you.

If you find completing tasks independently and by a deadline to be challenging, then I would caution you to take only one or two classes at a time; I cannot count how many times a coworker has had to pay back tuition assistance after failing an AMU course. The courses are not that difficult but they do require sustained superior effort in order to maintain a satisfactory GPA. I would also highly recommend that you complete a two-course sequence in English (if you have not done so already); your writing ability will practically define your academic experience at AMU. There are a great deal of written assignments at the upper level (at least within the psychology program).

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at AMU. While definitely not for everyone, AMU was the best option for me during my deployment. Please feel free to contact me if you are contemplating this institution (or the psychology program in particular).
