On [DATE], American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

Changing from Comprehensive Exam to Capstone Option

Depending on when you enrolled in your graduate program, there are a number of end-of-course options. If your program has a comprehensive exam, but there is an equivalent program that offers a capstone option, then you may be able to change from one to the other.

Start by contacting an academic advisor to see if a course substitution has been pre-approved that would allow you to change without having to officially change your program.

If there is no pre-approved substitution, you will need to log into the ecampus and submit a Change Academic Program form (under Academic Plan & Records/University Forms, select All Forms). Your request will be sent to the Advising department for review, and you will be contacted via email with a response.

Catalog Change

If your request to change academic programs is granted, you will also be moved to the current catalog requirements for the new program. Note that a change in catalog year may result in a loss of existing credit. Read our University Academic Catalogs article for details.
