Review:

I have no complaints.  I found the program delivery excellent, and as a result learned a lot.  In my opinion, online learning is a bit harder that what I found in the traditional classroom setting.  You really have to apply yourself here.

Review:

At first I was impressed at how quickly AMU (APUS) processed my application and how easy the system was to sign up for my first classes. Any positive impressions I may have had originally have been overshadowed by the incredibly poor quality of service I've received when trying to get a refund for two courses I needed to drop. I dropped the two courses one week prior to their start date. I've been informed that it takes 30 days for them to refund my tuition to my credit card. An email to the registrar was answered "Refunds are processed by our student accounts department and generally take 30 days." The student accounts department responded "Refunds have a turnaround time of 30 days."

I would NOT recommend AMU/APUS to anyone who may have a need to withdraw from a course. I get the feeling that their primary goal is not taking care of the student but rather maintaining a revenue stream.

Review:

I am a student at American Military University and I've attended other private and public institutions. I can tell you from first hand experience that AMU holds its own as the finest online university in the country. Among all top-five major traditional universities who have realized this is the 21st century, and as a technology age, are offering distance learning including Harvard University but AMU stands alone in this field because AMU teaches military and government personnel, and has prepared people for careers in the military, CIA and NSA. It may still be an insider thing but that is how well this school holds up in smart circles! The teaching is top rate by instructors with top grade top level credentials many from Ivy League schools. The value is still amazing. AMU started primarily for military/government training and what it now sees is a vast number of smart non-military students who have chosen to attend AMU over other traditional programs.
