    Being that AMU is now RA, has anyone heard anything about doctorate programs from them? There were rumors a while back but I haven't heard anything new lately. They don't have any info on their website so I was wondering if someone here knew something different.

    Assuming you mean American Military University (AMU), this FAQ entry from the website seems to indicate that doctorates are not in the near future:

    "Now that you are regionally accredited will you offer PhD programs?

    We hope to be able to offer doctorate programs in the future. Gaining approval from accrediting bodies for degree programs at a new level (especially doctorate-level) is a lengthy process. At this time, we are researching the possibility of developing doctorate programs in specialized areas such as Homeland Security, Intelligence, History and Emergency Management. Once developed, our current research suggests that accrediting any doctorate-level program could take 3-5 years."
