American Public University

American Public University is a leading provider of quality online education. Nationally recognized by The Sloan Consortium for best practices in online education, the university earned its reputation by never forgetting that students are priority one. American Public University is part of the regionally accredited American Public University System. Students can complete their degrees from virtually anywhere, worldwide. This flexibility enables students to fit a quality education into their lives at an affordable cost. While tuition has risen nationwide, the university has not raised its undergraduate tuition in more than eight years. The faculty is diverse, experienced, and dedicated. They are practitioners and scholars who bring real world leadership and passion into the classroom. Many are actively engaged in their fields, which ensure that the programs they teach are relevant to the professional needs of students.

APU offers 87 degree programs at the Associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, including:

  • B.S., Sports and Health Sciences*, with courses in Exercise Science, Kinesiology and Nutrition.
  • M.S., Sports and Health Sciences*, with advanced courses in Exercise and Sport Physiology, Strength and Conditioning and Nutrition for Sports Performance.
  • M.S., Sports Management*, with courses in Sports Marketing, Promotions, Public Relations, Event Management and Entrepreneurship.
  • Master of Business Administration*, with concentrations in Finance, Entrepreneurship, Global Business Management and Marketing.

We have an Employer Partnership Program used by top organizations like Amazon, Apple, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. State Department and the CIA. In fact, after hiring a university graduate, 98 percent of employers surveyed would hire another. Our students like us, too. Ninety-six percent of our seniors would choose us again, and 50 percent of our students are referred by their peers.
