How Students Rated This University
- Student Teacher Interaction 4.0
- Career Development 4.0
Helpful faculty and free texts
Highy rated school. Program is good. Faculty is helpful. I receive a lot of assistance with assignments when needed. Financial aid was very easy to do. They do handle the business side well. I also love the resources of the library. Most of the books needed for a course are provided for free in the library. Also the writing center is helpful too. They give good feedback and respond to requests quickly.
Flexible online masters
I love this school. The program is great, just wished the Professors were more attentive in answering questions. They are too vague sometimes and not helpful. We need to speak up when a professor is not being helpful because it's our grade and knowledge and not theirs. If the school worked on being more attentive with the students needs we will be more successful.
APU is great
APU is a great school. The professors are excellent and also extremely personable. Thankful for the faith integration and for dialogues that stretched, challenges, and grew me in impactful ways. Life-long relationships formed in my time there, both in person and online.
