Located just 45 minutes from Nashville in downtown Clarksville, Austin Peay's main
campus is home to programs offering bachelor's and master's degrees.

Expand your skillset and enhance your career opportunities through the academic programs
and convenient class schedules at the Austin Peay Center at Fort Campbell. Whether
you’re an active duty military service member, veteran or civilian, you can earn your
associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree through 7 1/2-week courses that allow you

Austin Peay State University’s online courses offer an interactive approach to education
combined with a user-friendly online platform. Even if you've never taken an online
class before, you will find our online format easy to learn, navigate, and manage!
Online students access D2L and engage with instructors and classmates online in an
interactive format. It is important to know that online courses are not self-paced;
courses begin and end on specific dates and class work has assigned deadlines. Advising,
library services, student support, and other forms of student assistance are available
to online students.
