American Military University Makes Top 20 List of Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities
Posted on: Friday, 5 December 2008, 12:29 CST
Online University's Selection is the Second in as Many Years by Military Advanced Education
MAE chose its top 20 list based on each school's significance in military education, whether for number of military contracts, number of military students served, availability of financial aid and scholarship, or other "military-friendly" qualities. AMU was founded in 1991 by a former Marine Corps officer and instructor and is one of the first online universities. It focuses on meeting the unique educational needs of the military --- a very mobile population with extended, irregular schedules and limited financial resources.
"We enjoy working with the military education community to help best meet the needs of service members," said
AMU continues to serve and attract military students with unique mission-related degree programs, affordable tuition, an undergraduate book grant, monthly class starts and a staff that understands the military community. Approximately 34,000 active duty, Guard, Reserve and veterans are enrolled in 73 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Military Advanced Education is the only publication that links soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines -- and their families -- with military-friendly colleges and universities. AMU's selection will be featured in the December issue of Military Advanced Education.
