Deciding Where to Earn Your Degree is a Big Decision

Our students tell us they made the right choice.

Before our students chose APU, they were searching for a relevant, quality education from a respected, accredited university. They found that here and more. Meeting the needs of our students – many like you who balance school, work and family with little time to spare – is priority one for our faculty and staff. In fact, we brought in nearly 200 experts from dozens of industries to help shape our curriculum, so it’s no wonder our students say they would choose us again.

At American Public University, students are priority one. We are committed to providing quality education, superior student resources, and affordable tuition. In fact, while post-secondary tuition has risen sharply nationwide, the university continues to offer affordable tuition without sacrificing academic quality. Tuition and costs are always transparent with no hidden charges.
