MISSION DOCUMENT

The American Public University System is a private, proprietary, degree-granting learning community of faculty, students, staff, and graduates aligned in three member institutions:
American Public University, American Military University, and American Community College.

We offer a non-traditional, distance education system using the most current technology to deliver personal, individualized instruction.

We serve members of the national security community and other scholars in the public and private sectors who seek a rigorous degree program of higher education that is responsive to their individual needs.

We focus on motivated first-time, continuing, and returning adult learners and working professionals who seek self-directed professional growth and personal development in a way that accommodates and enhances their other commitments to life and work. American Public University -- The American Public University is a non-traditional, distance education institution that offers Master, Bachelor, and Associate degree programs designed to meet the needs of the National Security and related communities, as well as other interested scholars. American Military University -- The American Military University is a non-traditional, distance education institution that offers Master, Bachelor, and Associate degree programs designed to meet the needs of the Military community, as well as other interested scholars. American Community College -- The American Community College is a two-year, non-traditional, distance education institution that serves students whose learning needs are best met by learning degree programs that culminate in an Associate's degree.

OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to employ the most highly qualified educators and professionals in order to produce graduates who are: technically and academically skilled, intellectually evolved, ethically grounded, responsible, committed to serving others, and dedicated to personal and professional growth.

OUR VALUES AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES

We are devoted to serving all people who share a commitment to the ideals of service to others, personal accountability, and life long learning. We are committed to the fair and just treatment of our students, employees, and all who interact and communicate with us. We are dedicated to the guaranteed freedom of our students and employees to seek information, practice freedom of expression without concern of reprisal, and access information about the university system and any of its member institutions. We strive to support each learner in a way that is both efficient and effective.
Through a unique blend of universally accessible distance-learning technologies and student-centered teaching techniques, we are able to intellectually challenge each individual while minimizing the distance between professor and student. We continuously review, evaluate, and update our operational procedures and academic degree programs in order to improve our administrative and teaching methods, as well as our student satisfaction and success. We seek and act upon student, faculty, and employee feedback in order to revise our systems and practices so that we remain an engaged partner-for-learning with business, industry, labor, government, and community in a diverse and dynamic world.

OUR VISION

We will continue to experiment with new approaches to higher education delivered at a distance that are consistent with a world-class academic institution. We will satisfy the needs of our students by extending their knowledge and enabling them to accelerate their personal and professional development. We will contribute to the continued growth and maturation of the academic and professional communities that we serve. We will become a global leader in higher education by expanding access to underserved geographic and demographic groups and by providing affordable, quality education to military and military-related professionals. Each member institution of the American Public University System will focus on a specific set of learners and will establish challenging and useful educational degree programs that address their unique professional and educational goals.

National Accreditation

Accreditation within higher education is a voluntary, nongovernmental process that gives public recognition to institutions that meet certain published standards of academic and administrative quality. The purpose of accreditation is to assure the public as to the quality of an institution and its commitment to high standards through a system of continuous improvement.
The U.S. Department of Education formally recognizes accrediting commissions that meet all federal standards. Further, the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) extends recognition to accrediting bodies and their institutions that meet established quality standards. Generally, accrediting bodies fall into three major categories: national, regional, and specialized/professional.

The American Public University System is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). The independent seven member Accrediting Commission of the DETC was established in 1955; shortly thereafter it gained the approval of the U.S. Department of Education as the "nationally recognized accrediting agency" under the terms of Public Law. The DETC recently marked its 75th Anniversary as an accrediting body, and is recognized to accredit distance education degree programs offered by both U.S. and foreign institutions.

As an accredited institution, APUS is eligible to participate in federal educational entitlement degree programs such as military tuition assistance, government tuition reimbursement degree programs, the Department of Veterans Affairs GI Bill, and many corporate education assistance degree programs. Credits and degrees earned through APUS are therefore recognized for promotion, assignment, and position qualification standards within the military and federal government.

Masters Degrees
International Relations And Conflict Resolution
Conflict Resolution
American Military University - ,

This degree provides the student an opportunity to research, study, and write in the field of international relations and conflict resolution. The approach to International Relations is that this field of study is firmly embedded in the Social Sciences as a whole. The rapid pace of globalization is blurring the boundaries of the state. Traditionally, state borders used to regulate the flows of things “foreign” into the state. Today borders are becoming ever more permeable to the transnational flows of goods, finance, ideas, communications, images, and crime and terrorism. Traditional thinking is also that state borders define the boundaries of a political community implying that domestic politics is qualitatively “different” than international politics. The fact is that individuals increasingly participate in growing networks of “international civil society” where political activities take place transnationally. Consequently, both the external and internal political functions of borders are dissolving. The rapid changes taking place in global society make it difficult to comprehend International Relations by focusing only on the state as the principal unit of analysis. Because of that, the discipline of International Relations is increasingly connected with insights from sociology, political economy, psychology, anthropology, and international law.

This program offers:

* Inter-cultural understanding, cooperation, and cosmopolitanism reflected in the staff and student body.
* An insight into the dynamics of international relations, across a number of issue areas, and the different ways of approaching them to prepare students for a number of career paths.
* An insight into the nature of change as an endemic feature of politics on a national, regional and global scale.
* An understanding of the causes of change and mechanisms to manage change;
* An insight into the role of various international actors - state, and non-state - as participants on the international scene.
* Training in research methods in the social sciences.
* A solid foundation in to the philosophical aspects of the study of international relations.
* Insights into the complex relationship between the concerns of domestic and international politics.

Bachelor Degrees
Emergency and Disaster Management
American Military University - ,

In the homeland security area, there is considerable discussion about concepts such as all-hazards approach, emergency and disaster management, risk prevention and management, counter-terrorism, consequence management and consequence mitigation, and others. Educators are still grappling with what makes up the various applied and research fields of study, and what are the academic disciplines inherent in this emerging field.

While terms and practices emerge some clarity is slowly becoming evident. For some of the areas within the homeland security arena, however, concepts are not so distinct that they can be studied independent of one another. For example, there is a spirited debate as to whether or not counter-terrorism is intrinsically the dominant theme of an all-hazards approach to risk management. The Department of Homeland Security has adopted an all-hazards approach to incident planning and response, but there is considerable focus on preventing terrorist activity and preparing to respond to terrorist threats.

Clear and definitive guidelines have not yet evolved in this emerging field and it is clear the subject is complex in theory and practice. The immaturity of the field prevents consensus and accepted standards from emerging. The fully developed degree program at APUS prepares students for the complexities of this field, along with preparation in a number of areas across the homeland security and emergency management spectrum. In its degree programs, APUS takes an integrated approach that reflects this discipline in its current emergency state.

International Relations And Conflict Resolution
Comparative and Security Issues
American Military University - ,

This degree provides the student an opportunity to research, study, and write in the field of international relations and conflict resolution. The approach to International Relations is that this field of study is firmly embedded in the Social Sciences as a whole. The rapid pace of globalization is blurring the boundaries of the state. Traditionally, state borders used to regulate the flows of things “foreign” into the state. Today borders are becoming ever more permeable to the transnational flows of goods, finance, ideas, communications, images, and crime and terrorism. Traditional thinking is also that state borders define the boundaries of a political community implying that domestic politics is qualitatively “different” than international politics. The fact is that individuals increasingly participate in growing networks of “international civil society” where political activities take place transnationally. Consequently, both the external and internal political functions of borders are dissolving. The rapid changes taking place in global society make it difficult to comprehend International Relations by focusing only on the state as the principal unit of analysis. Because of that, the discipline of International Relations is increasingly connected with insights from sociology, political economy, psychology, anthropology, and international law.

This program offers:

* Inter-cultural understanding, cooperation, and cosmopolitanism reflected in the staff and student body.
* An insight into the dynamics of international relations, across a number of issue areas, and the different ways of approaching them to prepare students for a number of career paths.
* An insight into the nature of change as an endemic feature of politics on a national, regional and global scale.
* An understanding of the causes of change and mechanisms to manage change;
* An insight into the role of various international actors - state, and non-state - as participants on the international scene.
* Training in research methods in the social sciences.
* A solid foundation in to the philosophical aspects of the study of international relations.
* Insights into the complex relationship between the concerns of domestic and international politics.
