American Military University

Founded in 1991 by a Marine Corps officer, American Military University (AMU) educates motivated students worldwide who serve in the military, defense, national security and public safety sectors, and beyond. Recognized by the Online Learning Consortium (OLC) for best practices in online education, we earned our unmatched reputation by never forgetting our students are priority one.

When you enroll at American Military University, you’ll be part of an online community of dedicated students, most of whom work full time while completing their college degrees. You can choose from more than 200 online programs including associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in popular programs such as Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Management, General Studies, Sports & Health Sciences, Intelligence Studies, Homeland Security, Psychology, Transportation & Logistics Management, Environmental Studies, and many more.

We understand how your work and family commitments don’t always align with a traditional semester schedule. That’s why, at AMU, you may enroll at any time and our online courses start monthly and run for 8 or 16 weeks.

Tuition includes your e-textbook at no charge if you are enrolled in AMU undergraduate courses for credit. For our military-affiliated students, we offer a tuition grant which caps our undergraduate tuition at $250/credit hour. This grant applies to all U.S. active-duty service members and their spouses/dependents, Guard, Reserve, and veterans.

American Military University is part of the American Public University System (APUS), which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). As an accredited university, we are able to accept many forms of financial aid, including federal student aid (FSA), military tuition assistance, and veteran’s educational benefits.
