Affordable
American Military University provides high-quality, affordable distance education to students around the globe. We do not have resident or non-resident students, so tuition is not based on a student's geographical location or home of record.
We do not want costs to get in the way of your education. We have streamlined our tuition and fees to make it easy for you to estimate and cover any expenses. For our many military students who use tuition assistance benefits, this often means no or minimal out-of-pocket costs.
You can also transfer previous education and training for credit, allowing you to progress faster toward your goal. We will accept up to 45 semester hours towards an Associate degree, 90 semester hours towards a Bachelor's degree and 15 semester hours towards a Master's degree.
