Answering the Hottest Question in Army Education: What Is Army University?
Kem, John S.; LeBoeuf, Eugene J.; Martin, James B.
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v64 n3 p139-143 2016
The most common question heard by senior members of Army University is always, "What is Army University?" The newest education institution in the U.S. Army was created to unify the training and educational institutions of the Army, making the large learning organization more effective and efficient for its soldiers, bringing together 37 different institutions in 23 states, with an annual student throughput of 500,000. Encompassing two different degree-producing schools, the university seeks to improve opportunities for soldiers in credentialing and licensure, along with exploring the ability to grant a limited number of military-focused undergraduate degrees. Just as critical, the university has the responsibility to grow relationships with civilian learning partners in the educational and corporate communities to aid active Army, National Guard, and Army Reserve soldiers while in service and in thousands of cities and towns throughout the United States.
