[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]What's the difference between A Public U and A Military U?? Thanks!![/COLOR][/SIZE] American Public University - nwbo - 08-07-2006 I'm not real familiar with the AMU side of the house but I believe it is targeted more toward active duty military folks. Both AMU and APU are member institutions of the American Public University System and share classes. In my two current classes, I'd bet somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of the students are in the military. The AMU degree programs reflect that focus as well. http://www.amu.apus.edu http://www.apu.apus.edu American Public University - Braylen - 08-11-2006 I had originally signed up with APUS and started the credit review process, but then when I found out they weren't regionally accredited, I got cold feet and passed. I'm interested in pursuing a Masters and didn't want to run into an issue later. However, I just saw recently that they have finally received regional accreditation with North Central Association of Colleges, which is great. That was the only thing that hung me up about the program.

ALL of their classes are online and I have never had a proctored final. All of it is open book.

APUS sounds interesting American Public University - ShotoJuku - 12-04-2007 From what I understand, both APU & AMU are both RA & NA now.

It looks like they accept all completed Docnet courses as college credit, another free way of attaining credit other than FEMA. https://ca.dtic.mil/doctrine/default.htm Quote:Undergraduate college credit is available, free of charge, for the successful completion of any DOCNET course and its accompanying exam. The American Public University System, a nationally accredited online university system, will grant one undergraduate credit hour in the military science category for each DOCNET course completed. Note that the availability of this service does not imply an endorsement or sponsorship by the Department of Defense. For more information, select "College Credit" on the menu. Quote:American Public University System (APUS) will grant one college credit hour for successful completion of each DOCNET course. The credit will be provided through one of two APUS member institutions: American Public University (APU) or American Military University (AMU). In order to receive undergraduate college credit, you must complete a DOCNET course, then successfully pass the examination at the end of the course.

I am kind of new to InstantCert but I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now and have found out a lot of great Info. I am taking my first test on friday.. Principles of Supervision. The flashcards are working great and I have scored 2 70's on the Petersons practice tests. AMU has also accepted every last one of my military credits from technical training(29) and they also accept FEMA and NFA credits. I am just about to send them the raw transcript straight from FEMA just to see what happens but I might end up doing the credit banking at TESC. Anyone else active duty Air Force? I am currently stationed in Misawa, Japan, 19 years old, married with baby on the way.. and loving it!hilarious American Public University - artcoffeewords - 08-04-2009 I am resurrecting an old thread here to see if anyone has any newer experiences with APU to share. I have been wavering between Excelsior and APU. No matter where I go most of my remaining credits will be earned through online courses and/or the Ohio U exams. They idea of taking them all from one source at APU, with books included, is tempting me. |
