I had my oldest two kids when I was fairly young. I was 17 when I had Chase and 19 when I had Blake. I graduated high school 6 months after Blake was born, I had fallen slightly behind being a mom but I did finish with 40 credits which i thought was a great accomplishment since I only needed 30 to graduate. I was very busy being a mom so did not move forward onto college or university at that time I thought I would wait until both kids were in school. Little did I know that when Blake was 6 and I was just starting to think about going to school since both boys were in full-time we would be blessed with our little princess and then just a short while later or newest prince. So now here I am again with two young kids and putting off school. By the time they are both in school full-time I am going to be too old for school and a career.
American Public University is the solution to my time constraint issues. I can go back to school, do my courses online while the kids nap, or Lee has them and I can feel like I am going somewhere in my life again. As a mom being able to do all this stuff from home without the worry of babysitters, schedules and the such is truly a lifesaver. Want to hear some great things about American Public University (APU), great because I want to share it with you.
Flexibility APU is very flexible in its school schedule. Unlike a traditional university it offers classes on a monthly basis instead of doing it by semesters. There is the option for accelerated programs and of course flexible courses that allow you to be a parent and student at the same time while meeting the delicate balance that lies there. APU courses are 100% online, allowing students to obtain degrees from anywhere in the world – on their time, their schedules. APU offers more than 100 online degrees and certificates in subjects ranging from homeland security to management and liberal arts to help students gain the knowledge and skills they need to advance their careers
Affordable We all know that planning for our kids future is to be our top priority when our kids are born but what about our futures? APU understands this and has taken all this into account. APU’s tuition is amongst the lowest in the country for accredited online universities.
- APU’s simplified tuition and fee structure makes it easy for students to estimate and cover expenses:
- Undergraduate: $750 for a 3 credit course
- Graduate: $900 for a 3 credit course
Quality, Credibility APU is a member institution of regionally- and nationally-accredited American Public University System (APUS), recognized as a leading education provider by numerous military, federal, private and public sector employers. The greater APUS virtual community numbers more than 70,000 classmates, 12,000 alumni, and more than 1,500 faculty and staff collaborating across time zones and borders in more than 100 countries worldwide
I am looking into this further for myself, I keep telling myself as soon as hte kids are older but then when the kids are older I will be too so that is not really any good either. I think that American Public University has offered the perfect opportunity for mothers/parents like me.
