What? For profit schools giving away an education? The devil you say...

This sounds like a great deal. However I tried going through the application steps and could not find an APU degree. I will contact APU.

 

What do you mean when you say you "could not find an APU degree"?

 

yup, I had the same problem. when you complete the application, you try different majors say in graduate degrees. I tried like 10 different majors and same five schools showed up like (Capella, Ellis U., and others) but didn't find APU. I think APU selected some odd ball majors because I couldn't find them.

 

I found one - Master of Arts in International Relations and Conflict Resolution.

Under "What field of study are you interested in?", click on "homeland security".

 

I received an answer from APU - said apply for this program then switch to the program I'm interested in later.

 

I agree, just because it's "non-profit" does not mean that nobody is profiting.

 

Went to apply for the scholarship and the MA in history is not covered by the scholarship

 

I believe it would be based on my correspondance with APU. See post #9 above (or ask APU).
