Is it a bad idea to use American Military University?

AMU is a regionally accredited college. The requirement for commissioning are a regionally accredited college.

If you're planning on applying for G2G ADO, you have to actually find a college you want to go to, that has an ROTC program, and be accepted to it. The first step is to find the college you want to go to and find out if they will accept your transfer credits

The best advice is to contact the University’s that you wish to complete with and ask what of your transcript carries over. More often than not accredited university’s carry AA credits well.

I can’t see why you wouldn’t be able to transfer your credits. AMU is a well known military friendly school and I’m sure G2G would accept all credits from there. A better place to ask this question would be on the Facebook G2G ADO page. I joined it a few months ago and there’s lots of people there with experience and knowledge. Thats a good place to start so check it out. Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ [login to see] 62379/?ref=share

Alright from my experience, I've went to AMU while on active duty. I have idk 60 credits +/- . Tried to do the request to have credits transferred to the community college I currently attend, and they're basically (at covid era speed) trying to see if they'll be able to accept my credits. My advice is if you're going the AMU route, just get a degree from them completely. I know however, that you plan to go green to gold.

It’s probably school/degree specific. Some schools will transfer just about any accredited course. Others are selective in what they will accept (engineering schools for example). Good luck!

I completed my undergrad at AMU. It is a fine university. It is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, which is one of the 7 major accredditing bodies. Some of their programs, like their business degrees, are also nationally accredited which you need in addition to the regional. I have used my degree to get accepted jnto several graduate programs at major universities, such as Liberty University, University of Texas, amd Texas A&M School of Law (where I start next year). It is definitely a good school and your credits will transfer to any university in the country

Transferred credits are usually accepted with minimal fuss. There are multiple college accrediting agencies across the United States. The biggest thing is to make sure your college is accredited with somebody. The second biggest thing is likely to do less transferring and more studying and finishing your degree. My two schools (DeVry for my Bachelor's in Accounting and University of Phoenix for my MBA) are both heavily scorned and snooted upon. But I completed degrees from both. The AICPA accepted my coursework to sit for the CPA exam and my state accepted my schools to issue me a license to practice public accounting. So, the choice of school is less important. What is important is that you finish your coursework and graduate so you can go from green to gold.

In civilian life, the game is about getting your licenses and certifications. Your underlying education is vital to this but your profession changes and keeping your licenses and certifications active shows that you are keeping up with changes to the industry and are able to accept higher pay, higher position, and greater responsibility for change your potential employers deal with. Over time, where you went to school becomes less important than your work experience and your licenses.

Alternatitively, if some of the credits do not transfer to the University of your choice, ask about getting elective credit for military courses you have taken. Also, just a FYI, if your good at Map reading a Topo Map.....thats most of the 5 credit Science elective for the first Geography course. The follow on Geography 5 credit course is study of rocks/minerals and generally is also a pushover. Meterology 101 is an excellent elective as well. Three credit course that is easy to ace because atmospheric isobar charts.....same concept as topo lines on a topographical map. Anyways some tips for you there. Metorology, certainly would help you as an officer as it teaches basic weather forecasting via looking at the environment around you.

Generally speaking, it is the accreditation the receiving school will look at, along with the grades for each class you completed (grades below “C” usually will not transfer). Additionally, you will be required to take a minimum number of credit hours theough the school you are transferring to.

AMU is what I got my associates degree with and it was probably the most military friendly online college that exists today. I did my first 4 classes with Central Texas College but I got annoyed with having to buy books for each classes. The book and PDF files of them are free with AMU.

I am pretty sure AMU is universally accredited.
