      A challenging journey but rewarding. APU provided clear guidance on classes and competant professors along the way. Very flexible and fitted around my busy schedule working full time while raising my family. Highly recommend this university!

      I had the best experience here at APUS!! I recommend it to everyone i meet looking to start their degree! I have even started looking into my Masters through them. 100/10, great classes and even better teachers!

      I just graduated with BA after 20 years procrastinating. The ***/APU Professors and program were outstanding! Continuing on with AMU for my Masters.

      I have had a positive experience here. After reading through some of the other reviews, I am fortunate to not have had to experience those concerns personally. Looking forward to completing my graduate certificate here.

      I tried out many different universities before and this one was the only one that got me over the top to graduating with a social studies and masters degree in education.

      Where should I begin? While the courses have been amazing, this school is one big disappointment. It is a rouge school that does not follow policy, an administration that lies habitually, and tons of jealousy and drama. This school needs an overhaul. Some of the people are sick. Unethical in nature. Collective evil at an occultic level. If you experience any problems report them immediately to the Attorney General, **** and the ***********************. Some professors are really good. You can really glean from their experiences. Too many target students, especially civilian students. If you are a civilian, you can make it here. Most of the military folk who attend this school have tons of experience but are not strong academically. You will study hard. However, don't expect fairness and integrity from these people. They are entitled bullies who hide their dirt well and will never meet you face to face. Do not tolerate their bs.

      I have attended AMU for the last year and a half and have been bombarded with illogical, half truths, unprofessionalism by the financial id department. They REFUSE to give you the information for the financial aid department. I have called several times. They are not following policy and procedures. They withhold students financial aid money. The withdrawl you from classes if you want to pay for your classes. This school is the worst ever. I have asked several people for Financial Aid director information and they refuse to give it. out. The worst part is that I referred some people to the school. I will also file a complaint with the loan board. There is no way I should continue to go through this while trying to pursue my education and complete good grades.

      Hello Neika. I am sorry to hear you had a difficult time working with the Financial Aid Advising team. I would like to discuss your experience with you in greater detail if that would be of interest to you. Please let me know and I will contact you using the email address we have on record. Thank you.

      There is great darkness within this University. It is not a fair place at all. They have been investigated and now they might be taking the student's private information and doing illegal investigations. Some of the instructors are pure evil. They are the sexiest and most deeply racist. Students who have had a long career turn in poor work. It's like they barely got passed high school, They attack anyone who's beating their favorite students who are always white males. Get a Lawyer and file with the DOJ if you have any issues. They have a strong network of protection almost occultic level.

      Just do a search on LinkedIn and view all the past and present students who went to the school or are currently going with no issues. I, myself, did additional research before attending this school and verified that it is an accredited institution. I finished my undergraduate degree here after having my previous credits transferred over. In 2022, I received my bachelor degree and I am in the Master's program now. I have had zero issues. (It's recommended that you get a counselor to help you through the process. I did.)
