Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
American Military University • Charles Town, WV
Studying Humanities (completion in 2010)




• 12/18/2011
"I got to read, discuss and write about very interesting subjects. As that was my entire goal, the process was very satisfying."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | Humanities trains students to see situations, people, and events, from multiple perspectives. That is precisely what is required when working with computer systems and the people who use them. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | This is purely a personal assessment, since I've never bothered to care much how others rate education. My criterion is whether or not I learned. |
| Program Quality | 10 | I was able to complete the MA degree online by reading and writing. Since I already had a Master of Science, the Humanities degree was for personal satisfaction. |
| Instruction | 9 | All my instructors were PhDs from major universities. They ran a tight ship and did not give automatic top marks just for showing up. |
| How Difficult | 9 | We had to read, comprehend, and write coherently about major works in philosophy, literature, religion and science. I was grateful for the rigor and the chance to do so. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | One reads, discusses and writes. That is the essence of "lecture and lab" in the humanities. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | As long as the work required was turned in on time, students were free to study where and when they liked. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | Overall, I'd rate the resources as good or better than most state university systems. |
| Social Life | I didn't participate and cannot say. | |
| Placement Services | I have no idea. | |
| Alumni Network | 5 | AMU seems to have a strong alumni organization. I've never had to avail myself of their services, however. |
