Review:

I am a new Navy vet of 4 years and previously attended a 4 year liberal arts college. I am a 28 yr old father of two. I am currently 12 credits shy of my Masters in Homeland Security. I am now working for a DHS contractor at the National Operations Center in D.C. I will offer two perspectives. 

First, I found the workload and types of materials challenging. My current Masters studies involve more time management than my undergraduate studies on a traditional residential campus. There are distractions, kids, military assignments, and AMU strives to make education in that atmosphere conveinant. 

Secondly, I would give AMU professors a good to great rating. For the most part they strive to assist you with scheduling conflicts and personal matters that can sometimes get in the way of the books and papers. Although it is an online forum you still have to assume a level of responsibility of being a college or graduate student. Deadlines are deadlines and extensions can only extend so long. For the amount of money you pay for courses I see the professors as people of great value.
