American Public Education Inc 's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers


The U.S. postsecondary education market is large and fragmented, characterized by intense competition. Key competitive factors include program quality, affordability, degree offerings, delivery flexibility, faculty experience, student support, career services, reputation, student recruitment effectiveness, and regulatory compliance. American Public University System (APUS) primarily serves military students and competes with other online institutions, on-campus colleges near military bases, both not-for-profit and for-profit schools, as well as the Armed Forces' distance learning programs such as the U.S. Naval Community College (USNCC). APUS is not affiliated with USNCC due to its for-profit status. Rasmussen University (RU) and Healthcare Network (HCN) provide campus-based nursing programs that compete locally with community colleges, public and private postsecondary institutions, and career-focused nursing colleges. Tuition adjustments at RU and HCN are made to maintain affordability and competitiveness within their local markets.
