Commencement Time Again - Charles Fout - 05-16-2025
It's the time for graduation ceremonies again. I remember my own graduation with joy. It was a very small group. Only three undergraduate degrees were awarded. It's worth noting that AMU was established with the goal of providing an opportunity for commissioned officers to further develop Professional Military Education (PME). That is the reason so many master degrees were awarded.
For a fun comparison, I listed the numbers for my own graduating class and those of the most recent. Our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was awarded his AMU MA just a few years after I was awarded my own. AMU BA.
I delight in the success and growth of American Military University / American Public University.
