Review:
I have had nothing but problems with AMU since before I even got into this fine"university" (SNICKER SNICKER!)I was bumped from a Dec. start to a Jan. start to a MARCH start due to dealing with the combined ineptitude of the tech system and the petty bureaucrat functionaries whose customer service training was obviously from Bulgaria !(Cold,wrong answers,and often rude!)The readings were not current at all(many from BEFORE 9/11!!)and the books were definitely NOT written for a graduate-level course!Professors did not return e-mails or give any insight as to what they expect in papers and discussion board postings,thus making the learning process nearly impossible.Luckily,I am only two courses in and will NOT be returning after these are done.DO NOT GO HERE!!
Awesome

Review:
What an awesome school! I have spent many years in the military...along with many schools, both online and in residence, and AMU is defitely at the very top of my list. The courses give the right balance of giving you a great education and realizing you have other priorities. One of the greatest things about AMU is the support staff. They have been extremely supportive. I live in FL and there is a representative that meets with online students down here and has returned my email questions within minutes, even when it was late at night. I would HIGHLY recommend this university to anyone!

Review:
First the positives. I would say that the online class was easy to navigate. Overall the system AMU uses is good. Now the negative. The faculty is very unresponsive. I already had 90 credit hours (3.8 GPA) towered my BA degree when I signed up with AMU. My first class at AMU was a mandatory “intro to learning” kind of thing. I made the mistake of mentioning that I really did not feel this type of class was all that useful for a 32 year old student like myself, a 19 year old maybe - but if I don’t know how to learn at 32, then I will never know. The professor then proceeded to give me low grades on all the work I turned in after that. My academic advisor was helpful enough to push me off on another faculty member, who simply said that the professor was right and I was wrong. Now I have a D- in a class I never wanted to take and I will have to pay back tuition assistance for the class. I can’t see by looking at the syllabus and adding my grades how I got a D- (even with the professor’s bias). Several times during the course the Professor would not accept work in one of the formats that the syllabus said was acceptable. Some of the online assignments had directions that the teacher seemed to be unaware of.
Excellent

Review:
I have had the same instructors as the previous poster, and I must say that they are excellent. A long with the dept. chair and other instructors. I have attended other online universities, private colleges, community colleges, and even Ohio State and have found AMU the most difficult and most rewarding of all 6 colleges I have attended. I have learned more at AMU in their respective classes than any other University.

Review:
Great program with outstanding instructors. Instructors have real-world experience (for example I had the Fire Chief of Tampa-St Petersburg, the head of the UN Anti-Terrorism branch, etc, as instructors) comapred to individuals just teaching from the "book". As an active duty military member I appreciated the flexible schedule, and the willingness of the staff to accomodate military duties and deployments. Additionally, my military tution assistance covered the entire cost of my degree, books are included in tuition. Only out of pocket expense was internet access and a PC. Great program, great books, and great staff. Worth looking into.
