Back to School without leaving home!

Long ago and far away when all my little dumplings were still home, the only way for me to have started or return to college would have been to pay for daycare, drive an hour in one direction, back again, and hope to be able to repeat the performance. Even now, though they’re all on their own, I have a full time job and couldn’t maintain sanity to attend a university for additional degrees.

So, what a difference the American Public University System can make. American Public University (APU) offers Moms a reason to get excited again about our education. Through their diverse, entirely online curriculum, Moms can participate in more than 100 degree programs tailored to their own schedules, whether that means after the kids’ bedtime or even during a dance class.

By providing class starts on a monthly rather than semester basis, APU offers greater flexibility than most universities. Plus, APU makes it easier to achieve your educational goals with some of the lowest tuition rates in the country: undergraduate classes cost just $750 per 3-credit course.

In addition to undergraduate degree offerings, APU also offers a wide variety of graduate programs for those looking to advance their careers. Over a lifetime, the typical bachelor’s degree recipient can expect to earn $800,000 more than a high school graduate,  while a graduate who earns a higher degree can expect to make over $1,000,000 more. Additionally, a 2008 National Survey of Student Engagement survey found that 97% of seniors enrolled at APU had an extremely favorable view of the university and would choose APU again.

They also offer LIVE CHATS so you can talk with other moms, and share your own back-to-school experiences.
