'''American Public University System (APUS)''' is a [[Private property|private]], [[for-profit school|for-profit]], [[distance education|online learning]] institution that is composed of '''American Military University (AMU)''' and '''American Public University (APU)'''. APUS is wholly owned by '''American Public Education, Inc.''', a publicly traded private-sector corporation ({{NASDAQ|APEI}}). APUS maintains corporate and academic offices in [[Charles Town, West Virginia]] and administrative offices in [[Manassas, Virginia]]. APUS offers associates, bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees, in addition to dual degrees, certificate programs and learning tracks.

Today, there are over 107,000 alumni. Despite its name, APUS is not a [[United States federal academies|public institution]] and is not a part of the U.S. government or the U.S. military. In 2018, the school paid $270,000 to the state of Massachusetts following an investigation by the state's attorney general into allegations that it misled potential students.

Approximately 56% of APUS students reported that they served in the military on active duty at initial enrollment.<ref name="edgar-online1">{{cite web|url=http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?FilingID=11222342-835-683438&type=sect&TabIndex=2&dcn=0001201792-16-000005&nav=1&src=Yahoo |title=Edgar Pro |website=Yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com |access-date=2016-05-25}}</ref> About 55,000 military service members get tuition assistance (TA) for APUS schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dodmou.com/TADECIDE/ |title=DoD Comparison Tool - Home Page |website=Dodmou.com |date=1970-01-01 |access-date=2016-05-25}}</ref> Another 16,702 use their [[GI Bill]] benefits for the schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vets.gov/gi-bill-comparison-tool/institutions/profile?military_status=veteran&spouse_active_duty=no&gi_bill_chapter=33&cumulative_service=1.0&enlistment_service=3&consecutive_service=0.8&elig_for_post_gi_bill=no&number_of_dependents=0&online_classes=no&source=home&institution_search=21913148&facility_code=21913148&|title=GI Bill Comparison Tool|website=Vets.gov|access-date=5 May 2018}}</ref>
