I just graduated from AMU with a BA in History and an IR minor. I started attending while I was in, and I ETSed from the Army and continued taking online courses. It was perfect for me because my wife and I thought it was important to have someone at home with our daughter. You will learn a lot, if you are truly interested in what you're studying. That's the caveat, you have to motivate yourself. It's great for military members because it isn't so regimented; i.e. be at class at 0800. It's not ND, Harvard or even Penn St. but it is a legitimate degree, especially if you're going to AMU/APUS. They are nationally and regionally accredited. You will have a legit degree when you graduate, and I'll tell you how the work force views the degree in conjunction with my military service. Have you been invited to Sigma Iota Rho? It's the national honor society for IR, and the Gamma Omega chapter is for AMU. I was on the committee to develop the minor, because I raised a big stink about not having a minor option for IR. I really enjoyed my time there, and there are a vast amount of professors who are also in the professional world as very successful individuals who also want to educate members of the military. I would say that the staff at AMU is as versatile as a Harvard or a Stanford, from my experience. I had a professor in Germany teach me English, and a professor for Russian History, I think, who was living through the riots in Kyrgyzstan. They are just two examples, but the faculty is very versatile and you'll get a lot of real world experience in your studies. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time.
