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.

Programs with Additional Admission Requirements

Some programs have additional admission requirements beyond the standard requirements for admission to a degree program. When a student enrolls in one of these programs, they will not be able to register for a course until after their admissions representative has cleared them for admission to the program. Students should visit the Admissions website to learn more about programs with additional admission requirements.

For more information on the specific admission requirements for these programs, please contact Admissions at info@apus.edu.
