'''American Public University System (APUS)''' is a [[Private university|private]], [[For-profit higher education in the United States|for-profit]], [[distance education|online learning]] [[university system]] 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.

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.
