What American Applied University offers
American Applied University (AAU) is an online institution focused on practical, career-relevant education for working adults. AAU offers programs at four credential levels: associate's degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and non-degree certificate programs. Each program is designed to fit around a full-time schedule, with coursework delivered entirely online through a structured learning environment.
The university serves students from across the United States and an international academic community. Its curriculum emphasizes applied knowledge: the kind of skills that translate directly into professional roles rather than theory for its own sake.
Programs and fields of study
AAU's program catalog spans several high-demand fields. Students can pursue studies in business and management, information technology, healthcare administration, education, leadership, project management, marketing and communications, finance and accounting, and human resources. Every program is structured around learning outcomes tied to real-world career pathways.
Certificate programs offer a shorter path to skill development and credential recognition. They're suited to professionals who want to deepen expertise in a specific area without committing to a full degree. For those ready to go further, the bachelor's and master's programs provide a rigorous academic foundation with the same online flexibility.
How the online learning model works
The process is straightforward. Students begin by choosing a program that matches their career goals and current education level. The online application is completed in steps, covering personal background, education history, and supporting documents. Once admitted, students access coursework through AAU's online platform, supported by academic advisors and faculty throughout each term.
AAU structures its programs so that students progress through clearly defined courses with defined start dates, deadlines, and learning checkpoints. This isn't self-paced guesswork. It's a supported academic experience with real accountability.
Support services for online students
Distance learning doesn't have to mean learning alone. AAU provides academic advising, learning resources, technical support, and career development services to help students move from enrollment through to graduation and beyond. Advisors work directly with students to plan course schedules, navigate transfer credits, and stay on track toward their goals.
Career services focus on helping graduates translate their credentials into professional opportunities. That includes resume guidance, interview preparation, and connections to career pathways relevant to each field of study.
Admissions and getting started
Prospective students can request information directly from the AAU admissions team or begin an application online. The admissions process covers program selection, personal and contact information, educational background, and supporting documents. International applicants are welcome and can find dedicated guidance through the international students admissions pathway.
AAU's admissions team is available to answer questions about program requirements, transfer credit eligibility, tuition, and financial aid options. The goal is to give every prospective student a clear picture of what to expect before committing to enrollment.
