President and CEO Wallace E. Boston says he plans to step down after a successor is found in order to focus on his position as CEO with parent company American Public Education Inc.

The APU system board’s search for a new president is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2016.

American Public University System offers 90 online degree programs through American Public University and American Military University. Its headquarters are in Charles Town.

University Plans Charles Town Business Incubator

  American Public University System plans to open a business incubator in Charles Town.

The incubator will focus on information technology, sustainability and green businesses.

The Journal reports that American Public vice president of community relations John Hough provided details of the project on Monday to the Region 9 Planning and Development Council.

Hough says the incubator’s clients will be eight to 10 startups led by veterans. But he says 

veterans might not fill the incubator’s capacity so it will be open to other startups.

The incubator will provide mentoring and coaching, networking and education.

The council passed a resolution of support for the incubator.
