APUS Library

On June 11, 1991, American Public University System’s history began with the founding of American Military University.

Since its inception, the university has grown exponentially from 5 graduates in 1995 to over 100,000 students today.

We are of the thousands of graduates headed to celebrate their massive achievements at commencement this weekend! We wish you great success as you embark on your next chapter.

Remember: The Trefry Library is always available to our alumni as a tool for future research – we hope to hear from you again! 📚

What began with a small group of students has grown into an institution supporting thousands each year.

That’s what three decades of forward motion looks like – compounded year after year, into something you can measure. From a single starting point to thousands reaching completion, all within one evolving timeline.

We're to help more students reach graduation.🎓

Be sure to sign up for these free webinars, happening 4/21 and 5/19!
