Review American Public University System

I enjoyed my time at this university. Maybe one day they will open up and expand to have public university. One con I will say is that some of the Professors there have a weird grading criteria and do not grade as there sybuallus states.

American public university has been great for me as a soldier. They are flexible and very understanding when it comes to fields and deployments.

The teaching staff were amazing, so was the support staff when I needed help. They were detailed when giving me information I needed to succeed. The only downside is the communication from academic advisor to student can be somewhat slow and delayed so I ended up being de-enrolled for not eating S. A. P. Requirements but I am still trying to go back since this school really does align with my needs with balancing life, work and school.

I think they should allow students to access there funds sooner that 3-4 weeks in there courses. I start my classes next month on the 4 so I really hope you approve me before then

I love the accelerated courses and that it is all online. This school is amazing and very helpful with everything from extending courses and FASA help.

The classes are challenging,, but in a good way. Eight week courses that are online fit into my schedule a lot easier than 16 week courses.

The Classes have weekly deadlines with two days a week for discussion deadlines. Teachers are very helpful and responsive. The school website is very easy to move through and find what you are looking for. You can work ahead each week to get ahead and finish the class early if you can. The grading rubrics are very clear with what is expected of you, so there is no guessing on anything.

The online learning platform is flexible and allows for good time management. The professor are engaged with knowledge of the field of course.

Excellent curriculum but not enough engagement from my instructors.

I'm going to American Military University of the APU system, majoring in Intelligence Studies. The curriculum is second to none so far in my experience and extremely informative and useful for my case.

It’s a great school if you’re in the military. The professors are flexible, helpful and give you lots of chances to improve your work for a better grade. Everything is self paced so you can finish early if you’d like to. You are given plenty of time to complete the work and there are always courses available.

I applied to American Public University because of its military affiliation. I served eight and a half years in the United States Army. The fact the many of the staff and students are connected to the military in some way really allows me to connect to others. Although, many of our discussion boards aren't military related the interaction with my classmates allowed them to give demonstrations through military experience. This made it easier for me to understand some of the material during some of my classes. I can't think of things I would change because I feel so comfortable at the school being around veterans.

This university is a wonderful university tailored towards veterans and has high support for veterans seeking their education. They work very well with military schedules and classes start every single month to enable someone to start on their schedule.

Courses are watered down to the point you can pass without learning what you need or even attaining the course objectives. I disagree with ranking APUS #13 in Information Technology programs. I literally saw a traditional brick & mortar university ranked lower than APUS that I have also attended which was a far more rigorous program that better prepared me for the work world. I do not recommend American Public University System.

APUS has been incredibly beneficial to me as I have been able to work as a full-time student as well as a full-time reservist in the USAF. I really enjoy the compatibility opportunities I have with other students through discussion posts, online videos, and peer reviews. AMU is consistently improving their websites, customer service options, and ways students can be involved. The only thing I would add is a website, staff, and designated opportunities that provides high schoolers with a smoother transition to college. I have enjoyed my time here at AMU and will be completing all 4 years of college here at APUS!

Review American Public University System

As a student, while serving active duty in the United States Navy, this university manages to be forgiving. The professors understand the high level of discipline and hours spent working full time with twenty-four seven recall, possible deployments, watch standing duties and family emergencies. School and family, unfortunately is required to come last. I have been thankful to attend this university while serving due to this. There have been weeks I had no choice other than for my assignments to have a late submission and notifying my professors prior allowed me to not have points deducted effecting my overall GPA. I’m sure that any other active duty member in the United States military would agree.

APU has been so helpful through all of my time there. From helping me apply, to assistanting with financial aid, to even gettinf my credit transferred over. I am doing great and the teachers and staff have been amazing.

Great for those doing college part time and need to be flexible with their classes, especially for military.
