Move with a purpose

Be The Captain Of Your Future

You are always ready when you challenge the status quo and advance your knowledge. Trust American Military University (AMU) to support you in your mission to earn a respected degree that is affordable, convenient, and flexible.

Founded by a retired Marine Corps officer, AMU has educated those who serve since 1991. We believe all Coast Guardsmen like you deserve the opportunity to learn without the burden of debt. That’s why AMU created the Preferred Military Rate. The Preferred Military Rate gives all U.S. active-duty servicemembers, National Guard members, and Reservists the freedom to pursue undergraduate and master’s-level education for potentially ZERO out-of-pocket tuition. Move with a purpose at AMU, where you may be able to turn your Coast Guard service into academic credit.

AMU is part of American Public University System (APUS), accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
