On August 4, 2026, American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (the System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

Upskilling and Reskilling Your Personnel for the Future

As the demands on those who serve continue to evolve, workforce learning and development has become essential to maintaining readiness and effectiveness. Personnel need practical, job-relevant skills to support the safety and well-being of the communities they serve.

To support those who serve, forward-thinking leaders need to consider how reskilling and upskilling can better prepare their personnel for the challenges they face—be it communicating with members of the public or gaining knowledge to tackle evolving issues.

As a pioneer in quality, affordable online higher education, American Public University (APU) provides career-relevant programs designed for working professionals. With flexible, online learning and the opportunity to earn up to 45 credits for prior training and experience, personnel can build on what they’ve already accomplished—helping them move forward faster without starting over.

Mostly 8-week class formats, with monthly program starts, allow students to start on their schedule.
