Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need to be online for the online program?

However, there is no prescribed amount of time or designated time that you will be required to be online because assignments and their deadlines will vary throughout each nine-week course.

Several types of financial aid, ranging from federal loans and state grants, to fellowships and scholarships, are available. Learn more about the financial aid opportunities available to you.
Will I have to complete any part of my Online Certificate in Gifted and Talented Education at an APU campus location?
No. You can complete your GATE certificate entirely online. No campus visits or meetings are required.

Online programs may include requirements, procedures, and policies unique to the university's more traditional programs. For more information on how to get started in an APU online program, please contact one of our recruitment counselors at (800) 825-5278 or at graduatecenter@apu.edu.
“APU’s small classes help professors facilitate meaningful discussion and collaborative work among students. One of the professors literally wrote the book on strengths-based education, a revolutionary approach for me. Learning this concept of focusing on strengths has been the single most significant aspect of my education, and is something I have already begun to implement on my campus. When I become an administrator, this will be an integral part of my leadership philosophy.”
