Admissions: Undergraduate Transfer Students If you have previously attended a college or university but have not yet earned a bachelor's degree, you are eligible to transfer into one of the following undergraduate programs: Associate of Arts
The Associate degree program is designed for students who seek a two-year degree as either their final degree in higher education or the foundation for further study at the bachelor’s level. Students must possess a high school diploma or its equivalent to be admitted to this program. APUS offers three Associate degrees. The Associate of Arts in General Studies is designed to provide a solid foundation for further academic achievement. Several concentration options provide students an opportunity to focus on courses that develop knowledge, skills, and abilities that are readily applicable to the student’s personal or professional interests.
The Associate of Science in Database Application Development fills the education need for Database Development professionals. The Associate of Science in Web Publishing degree fills the educational need for Web Publishing professionals. These programs are designed to produce academically sound and functionally competent professionals with the necessary foundation to be productive in the IT industry. Note: Our Associate Degree in General Studies (all concentrations) does not qualify as an eligible program for Federal Student Aid (FSA) funds. However, our two new Associate of Science degrees, Web Publishing and Database Application Development, are now approved programs for FSA.
Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor’s degree program is open to students who possess a high school diploma or its equivalent. This minimum 120- to 124-credit-hour program is the standard “four-year” undergraduate degree that most employers want and prepares students for graduate study. Undergraduate Certificates
AMU offers certificate programs at the undergraduate level to applicants who have a high school diploma or its equivalent. Certificate programs allow students to focus on a particular topic of interest through a five- to nine-course program of study. Students choosing certificate programs usually have either an Associate or Bachelor’s degree and seek specific knowledge in one subject area. Note: Students pursuing certificates at this time may not use Federal Student Aid to finance their program. Admission Requirements
If you are an undergraduate transfer student who has not yet earned an Associate degree, you must submit the following documentation within 15 weeks of your admissions application: - Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) application and fee
