American Military University

Major: Other (This Major's Salary over time)
I've just finished my first year at AMU and am completely satisfied with the experience. For instance, I changed majors without a headache. As a matter of fact, it was completed in a couple of days and all I had to do was reply to a couple of emails. The schoolwork is what you make of it, because you aren't being lectured it solely relies on you to get the most out of it. I like the flexibility to spend a whole weekend doing homework, and virtually finishing half of an 8-week class in 2 days. And because there aren't breaks for holidays and the such, I'm not pressured to get things done early. In terms of my degree program, AMU is the most comprehensive degree course I've ever seen. My degree program is in Intelligence Studies, and have yet to find another school with the same coursework. Yes, some of the classes, especially the general studies bloc seem very infantile and uninspiring, the fact that military Tuition Assistance pays 100% makes it very easy to deal with. Overall it is a great school that expects the best out of its students, for instance, my last class I got a 89.9%. A 90% would have given me a 4.0 for the class. Think of it what you will, but diplomas aren't just thrown around in this school.
