How APU Works for You:

While many parents already take an active role in their children’s education, today more and more of you are going back to school yourselves. APU offers both moms and dads a reason to get excited again about their own education. 

Through our diverse, entirely online curriculum, you can participate in more than 150 degree programs tailored to your own schedule, whether that means after the kids’ bedtime, after work, or even during a dance class. Monthly class starts, 8 and 16 week courses, and online programs provide flexibility for your busy schedules. Plus, we make it easier to achieve your educational goals with some of the lowest tuition rates in the country: undergraduate classes cost just $750 per 3-credit course.

We want you to make an informed decision about the university that's right for you. For more about our graduation rates, the median debt of students who completed the program, and other important information, visit www.apus.edu/disclosure.
