Turning Passion Into Purpose

A University That Understands Military Families

As a military family member, your pride and honor run deep. You serve right alongside your servicemember with every PCS, deployment, and TDY. American Military University (AMU) celebrates your commitment, and we know you have ambitions too. AMU has educated those who serve since 1991 with portable and accessible learning. We stand ready to serve you with affordable, flexible online higher education.

We believe military families deserve the opportunity to learn without the burden of debt too. That’s why AMU created a military tuition grant for military families. After the grant is applied to undergraduate and master’s-level tuition, you pay $250/credit hour. Fulfill your goals by enrolling at a university that supports your grit and dedication.

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