High Quality Education
By Vincent - St. Louis on
October 24, 2008
One of my reasons for attending American Intercontinental University Online was the quality of education i received, along with business courses which helped me to focus more on learning important concepts in addition to developing college-level writing skills.
The coursework emphasized online learning modules such as Discussion Boards, along with Individual Projects, and Group Projects. The group projects I had for each course taught me the importance in working on a project with others as a team, and this skill is important in the workplace. In addition, learning tools such as multimedia presentations, live chats, and the library were all resources that helped me to become a successful student.
The interaction between my professors and classmates was always professional and interesting. The discussion forums invited me the opportunity to share my insights with other classmates.
My overall experience with AIU was more than a positive one. From the time I was accepted all the way to graduation, the team of faculty members, advisors were by my side and was very supportive of my educational pursuits.
Unpleasant Experience
By Julia - North Kingstown, RI on

Unfortunately I had a very unpleasant experience with the staff at AIU. I found that all that were employed there, lacked any sense of communication between departments. I was called 4-5 times a day by different individuals leaving me the same messages, to things I had already taken care of. I actually turned my phone on silent so that it wouldn't annoy me so much. At the end of a long month of back and forth miscommunication I called it quits... It's to bad that I was never refunded my admissions fee. I do NOT recommend attending AIU, however I am not giving up on Online Education!
Education is Delicious!

I do not regret for attending American Intercontinental University for the past 3 years and I am about to complete my bachelor business administration degree concentrating healthcare management next month. I enjoyed learning from every courses because students and instructors gave their excellent insights on a topic or a subject diligently and meaningful. Every department is easy to navigate and easier to obtain information where a student seeks for help and the answers are usually returned within less than 24 hours. Especially, the Financial Aid department, they are straightforward and honest and aids student with the finance with ease. Classmates and professors interactions are respectful and professional. The tools that I have used online are the textbooks, library that contains subjects’ archives, articles and journals, websites, and instructors’ PowerPoint presentations, and classroom materials. My overall experience at American Intercontinental University is fulfilled and worthy! A.I.U. can make your education delicious!
Bachelors in Fine Art Visual Communication

The online college experience is the best thing that could ever happen to college. It gave me the chance to attend classes that I would never have been able to attend in a brick an mortar class room.
I feel like I was exposed to more learning tools, having the internet to search all over the world for the material I needed and classmates to discuss the topics and bounce ideas off of.
The professors were very knowledgeable and helpful. If it was not for the Internet I would not have had access to any of these professors and their knowledge, the only thing I regret is that I wish I had more time in each class so that I could have learned more from the professors.
I believe attending an online college prepares you for your new career, AIU is a good college and holds itself to high standards and prepared me for my new career with classes that provided hands on true to life experiences.
Associates Degree in Business
By Elizabeth - Nashville, Tennessee on
April 28, 2008
I did not find school to be difficult, and while it wasn't enjoyable.. it WAS worth the money. The courses consisted of 5 week sessions, with two classes per session. Each class had an individual project (2-3 pages) and a discussion board (4-5 paragraphs) due each week. There were instructor chats twice a week and the instructors were responsive to email. I did not interact with the other students enough to get close to anyone, and I didn't see a lot of inter-student networking.
I really enjoyed the English and Biology classes, and the rest were ok. I've worked in IT for 7 years, so the IT classes didn't really teach me anything, so I can't say it prepared me for a new career. It did give me the diploma I needed to get past the HR gatekeepers in many organizations.
