Program Learning Outcomes
At American Military University and American Public University, we utilize a systematic, evidence-based approach to ensure our academic programs meet the highest standards of excellence. We identify Signature Assignments within each program and measure success by the percentage of student artifacts meeting our rigorous criteria. Currently, our programmatic goals seek to have at least 70% of these artifacts demonstrate proficient or exemplary achievement of their respective Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). These data points serve as a diagnostic tool; when outcomes deviate from these benchmarks, it triggers a collaborative review process. By examining the alignment between our instructional methodologies and the evolving needs of the field, we proactively refine our curriculum to ensure graduates remain competitive and highly skilled.
End of Program Survey
Student satisfaction is extremely important at American Public University System. Students are asked to complete a survey at the conclusion of their program to give insight on their experience. An interactive dashboard is available, that can be filtered by program, showing all End of Program survey results.
Peregrine Programmatic Assessment
B.A. Marketing students at AMU and APU are required to participate in our Peregrine Programmatic initiative. This involves completion of an inbound and outbound assessment focusing on topics specific to their program of study. Assessments are administered during required courses for the program. This initiative enables us to evaluate and inform teaching and learning. Below are results from 2024.
