APUS is leagues ahead of other online schools. I attended others before finally transferring to APUS. The price was half that of the previous school I was at. While it is still inexpensive recently they add a technology fees to the classes. This extra 50$ per class isn't a good reason to shy from the school but it is one thing that is frustrating. They claim to give all undergraduates access to texts, which technically they do. In the beginning they actually sent books then they moved onto using .pdf formats. These were acceptable. Now however they utilize an atrocious form of books on a site where the layout is horrible and it is a serious pain to read. I ended up utilizing extra financial aid and buying textbooks on my own. I'd assume the 50$ technology fee is to pay for the website access to these texts as I see nothing else different since the implementation. Not a huge thing but enough to bother me. For someone coming into it not knowing how things were before, it probably won't be as much of an issue. Just be aware of the textbook formatting. Most Professors care and take their jobs seriously. I have had so many that I truly felt deserved and earned my respect and admiration. I have had a couple, unfortunately, that I wouldn't recommend. For anyone who is wondering why, it isn't grade related. It is the fact that they never replied to communications in an acceptable time-frame, didn't have things graded in an acceptable time-frame and never commented on assignments to help me to know what areas to work on. Again, This was very few and I did make my opinions heard. A good thing about APU is that they listen when you speak. When I did communicate with their departments I was taken seriously and was never left hanging. Some online schools will lay out your degree program for you but at APU it is more traditional. The schools I attended before APU did all the scheduling for me and it was very different when I came to APU. In hind-sight I wish that I would have taken advantage of the Student Services more to assist me in planning out my scheduling. I did in the end (I'm almost finished with the program) and they were a great help. The courses are all relevant with relevant course book selections. The Professors are all experienced in the areas that they guide us on. I have learned so much from them, the course materials, and from my peers. Online learning (for those who don't know) is self-teaching not classroom based but at APU it is Guided. Professors work to challenge you with assignments and postings. Peer interaction allows for people from all walks of life and experience to share and question. Everyone there wants to see you succeed and assistance is never out of reach. This degree program is not too difficult that someone with no prior experience couldn't do it and isn't so easy that tech savvy IT nuts will be bored. I give the overall picture an A- because of the few things I had issue with. However, to put it in perspective, the other online schools I have been to Averaged a D+. No institution can be perfect but APU is the best out there in online education as far as I'm concerned.
