MEET TWO STUDENTS WHO PURSUED THEIR POLITICAL SCIENCE DEGREES AT AMU:


Andrew Sternke, AMU Alumnus,B.A. Political Science"Simply put, just plain terrific! With my AMU bachelor's degree in Political Science, I was accepted into the law school of my choice and will start law school (University of St. Thomas School of Law, MN). People are impressed by the fact that I was able to complete a degree as an active duty infantry Marine, but this was made possible by AMU's amazing professors and technology that makes distance education work!"

Bachelor's Degree in Political Science



Cristina Cliff, AMU Alumna, Political Science"Without the understanding of my AMU professors I would undoubtedly have been forced to drop classes all until my personal issues had been dealt with. Instead my professors worked with me to make sure that school did not get lost in the shuffle. I had exceptional instructors who allowed me a very brief respite from educational demands and therefore made me want to return to school. I have appreciated school more than I ever have before. I believe this education will help shape my future in a number of different arenas."
