American Public University (APU)-- A good source for obscure credits?

[dfrecore]

Hi, folks!

I'm working on a BA from TESU in either English, or a dual-concentration of English and History. Both of these areas of focus have one tough to find class (with English, it's Non-Western Literature, with History, it's Historiography).

In combing the forums, I noticed that someone discovered a couple of Non-Western literature courses at APU, and I did a search and discovered they also have a Historiography course.

My question is this: Has anyone had any experience with APU? Their tuition appears to be $270/ credit, which isn't GREAT, but is, in my opinion, acceptable, considering how hard it is to find these two courses. The University isn't mentioned on the Wiki, so I decided that I would feel much more comfortable hearing opinions from anyone here before seriously looking into it.

FYI, they are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, which appears to be an RA issuing body.

They work out to be roughly $810/course, which is high, but if you only need 1 course, it's not terrible. They also have the added benefit of being able to do a course in an 8-week term instead of a 16-week semester.
