AMU or Liberty University for an online BA in IT any preferances

MSgt Keith Hebert, also keep in mind that since you're in the National Guard, many of the states offer State tuition programs of some type. In your case (assuming you're an active drilling airman of the LAANG), Louisiana offers State Tuition Exemption Program (STEP) (http://geauxguard.com/resources/education/state-tuition-exemption-program/)

I would contact MAJ Horridge (the LANG State Education Officer - follow the link for info) first to find out the details of what you're eligible for. For instance, in some states, they will do STEP for only public colleges/universities. In other states, you can use STEP for private colleges/universities, but only get reimbursed up to the costs of what it would be to attend a public venue. Finally, for online degrees, the State may restrict STEP participation based on where the institution is physically located. For example, AMU is headquartered in West Virginia and Liberty is in Virginia.

I don't know much about AMU. But I am pursuing my Master's with Liberty University and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. They have been great. Veterans qualify for the military tuition rate. They also give a book grant but it does not always cover the cost of books. But it really helps. Here's a link to the information on their military benefits: http://www.liberty.edu/online/military-benefits/.

I would do a little research as some schools offer discounts if you show them a DD-214. 25% off my MBA no other schools could beat it. However I went the face-to-face route. If your good with IT stuff I say go for it.
