Hey everyone! I'm exploring the possibility of attending American Public University, but I'm not sure about its accreditation status. Can anyone confirm if it's an accredited institution, and if so, what kind of accreditation it holds?
Yes, American Public University (APU) is an accredited institution. It is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Regional accreditation is considered the gold standard for higher education institutions in the United States, and the HLC is one of the six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This accreditation ensures that the university meets specific educational standards and that the credits and degrees earned at APU are widely recognized and accepted by other colleges and employers.
I hope this information helps you with your college search!
