On [DATE], American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

 

Program Learning Outcomes

By using various assessment tools and/or rubrics within the classroom, American Military University and American Public University are able to capture a snapshot of students’ success in fulfilling their program outcomes.  Signature assignments are used to assess students’ proficiency in meeting each program outcome (PO).  In order to show proficiency in an area, a student must achieve a score of 85% or greater. American Military University and American Public University strives to have 70% or more (university benchmark) of our students reaching the 85% proficiency standard. When this benchmark isn't met, action is taken to improve curriculum and instruction to better serve our students. The below chart shows combined results for AMU and APU students in this program.

 

 

Learning Outcomes Assessment: Peregrine General Education

Undergraduate students at American Military University and American Public University (AMU and APU) are required to participate in our national testing initiative as they near degree completion.  This involves completion of the Peregrine general education (PGE) assessment.  This initiative enables us to evaluate and inform teaching and learning, as well as benchmark our programs. Data visualizations are available, showing AMU and APU's overall PGE results.

Student satisfaction is extremely important at American Military University and American Public University. Students are asked to complete a survey at the conclusion of their program to give insight on their experience.
