"I joined AIU MBA in Human Resource Management though talentedge in June. It’s the best thing that I have done for my development to date. I was recently introduced to my mentor who is an extremely experienced HR professional. My mentor has taken a keen interest in my development and I feel so lucky to have received this opportunity to be guided by such a professional. I love how American Intercontinental University personalizes the experience for me as I wish it to be!"

"I never studied online before and due to COVID19, I had to opt for an online MBA since I didn’t want to waste the downtime. Luckily I joined American Intercontinental University through the selection process by Talentedge. My experience has been very good indeed. Online learning is different from on-campus learning and I do miss the classroom setting but AIU faculty does its best to create a nice and easy online learning environment. I think where AIU shines is the self-paced platform which allows me to pace myself in my own way. Besides this, I feel that Talentedge offers a low tuition fee and still brings highly experienced professors from everywhere in the world to teach which I have not seen before. All in all, I feel happy to choose an MBA in Human Resource Management."

"Hello all, I would like to say that American Intercontinental University has been a great choice for me. I am from India and I wanted to study at a US Business School so that one day I can look for jobs in the USA. Since I am working full time as an engineer, I can only study in my evening times and during weekends. It has been quite easy for me to balance my work and studies. The curriculum of Technology Management is really good. I am constantly learning new things and also applying some of them at my current job, experience so far has been great. #AIU #Talentedge"

"I recommend American Intercontinental University to everyone since it is a very affordable and high-quality institution that is trying to provide the best education to its students. Because of COVID, I lost my job but I still wanted to study and use the time available as much as possible. I am pursuing my MBA with a specialization in Healthcare Management from AIU and I am happy with the format since it allows me a lot of flexibility in how I choose to study. I like the way the assignments are provided and the focus on practical aspects of decision-making and critical thinking. I was not looking for a program where they only teach theory and this program has been great that way. Some courses are theoretical but for those courses, it is required to know a lot of theory so I guess that is fine. The best part was that I did my test through intellipath and was amazed at the feedback I received. Kudos, AIU, Thank you Talentedge for assisting through the admission!"

"The courses of AIU are planned well. No wastage of time on unimportant stuff. I love the case studies and examples that help to solidify the concepts. My program, MBA in Healthcare care Management, is simply great. I have checked so many programs before I joined but the curriculum of AIU was just amazing. They have great online support. Overall I am very happy that I joined this college through Talentedge for my future studies and I also don't have to give up my job."

"When first started finacial aid and student advisors and admission helped so much, due to the fact It had been so long since I have been in school. The classes were challenging but informative. I thought I would not be able to do well, with encouragement and all the help it was easy."

"I am amazed that the world has at this level, I was planning for an MBA from an American university but leaving the job was not a wise chance I wanted to take plus the expenses of a foreign degree, I took a chance in 2019 with proper R&D and completed this degree while earning since now I hold an MBA in healthcare from AIU, I recently changed my job and ROI is quite great after exp. of 6 years in healthcare, I saw my role in the job change. I have recommended it to my colleagues and a few of them have already joined. Go for it don't think."

"Personally for me, it’s been a wonderful online learning experience. We get our learning materials and resources at the beginning of each term and we are expected to participate in the registered course every week. All students get a new assignment, reading material, and quiz every Thursday and we are expected to meet the submission deadline which is next week Wednesday. I would gladly recommend AIU to anyone looking for a structured distance learning experience. And be sure to do a background research on your own"

"When I start applying for AIU I was in the middle of wait for another college to receive my transcript. At the time I was a least a month before I call Saint Leo and was told they never receive my transcript. I was already exhausted because I was looking for other college that had my major and willing to get me in quick. Once I decide to not to Saint Leo since there process was taking too long. I try AIU I apply Friday night and by Saturday morning I had so many phone call from AIU it was crazy. Once I finally accept the call I was able to get accept into AIU on the same day. Within a few days I had send over my high school diploma upload and had my transcript send over to AIU. I also forgot to mention I was transfer from community college to AIU. When other college told me they can`t accept me because of financial aid. AIU was like we going to take care of you and make sure you graduate. I want to thank everyone at AIU for getting me enrolled in school and achieving my dream. Thanks AIU for helping ,me accomplish my goal which was to go back to college and my degree in Business Administration. Thank You AIU"

"I attended AIU Online from 2018-2021. I have seen many of the complaints about AIU, but also heard it was a good college for military people as I was active duty at the time of enrollment. AIU has had no more notable scandals than really most colleges. When people say go to a real college, but complain about how financial aid and student advising is handled at their “real college” I am thankful to say I never had these problems with AIU. If you are respectful and cooperative , as I always am with staff, they assist you with no problems. I acknowledge people have had problems in the past, and I respect those problems and won’t invalidate anyone’s experiences. I will just say my experience with AIU was a breeze, AIU IS an accredited institution and your degree IS worth something. My mother, also a veteran, attended AIU before me and received her master’s degree and has been working WITH her degree and getting jobs WITH her degree for upwards of 15 years. AIU is not a fraudulent college, they have had controversy yes. And truthfully I believe college should be free, and any college charging you money to learn is scamming you, but this is America where we have to settle for capitalism, and I see nothing different with AIU’s practices than any other university, and these scandals did not affect the quality of my education. I am not writing this to defend AIU. I have no interest in defending any institution that charges people to learn, I am simply giving my honest feedback. This was a great school to attend. The staff was very polite and all of my instructors were considerate of my personal issues with VERY respectable windows for late assignments and if you did an assignment wrong, you often get the option to redo it. Learning with AIU is structured and if you do your work on time, actually do the reading assignments, and soak in the information you’re being given instead of just trying to pass the class you will benefit from the flexibility of doing AIU Online and having free time to work, or whatever else you need to do with your day. In conclusion, I would recommend AIU to anyone seeking higher education. I will also say AIU has frequently been called out for certain things, but they also always fix whatever issues they have internally and right their wrongs much quicker than most universities with any type of scandal, and that’s all that matters. I hope this honest review helps anybody who has worries, or questions. Thank you."

"The best part about AIU is the staff, there was times it was getting difficult for me due to also working a full-time job. The staff encourage me to continue and do not give up. They would constantly check up on me by calling and sending me messages of encouragement. Thank you AIU staff!"

"When I started AIU I knew I was determined to finish, and to never give up. Knowing you will have your falls The instructors and Advisors are always here for you at your worst and always would try to think positive about yourself and able to do it, for the past 4 years are completely worth it. The way inspiring others to pursued there lives and having a career out of it. That goal finally achieved since i been a AIU student, the financial department helped me be able to keep up on the income part and living under the low income statics this school is able to provide the best to earning your degree. Always fallow your dreams!"

"First of all I was so excited when I started, all A's and interesting Discussion Boards, then comes Professors, M. Jones, W. Bower, W. Albert, J. Pumphrey, they blew all my hopes and dreams away. No compassion, No assistance, you send emails after emails, response maybe at the end of the class. I failed all of their classes and had to retake, which means 'More Loan money" I actually think that this college is not for students who want to move forward, but to get as much money as Pell, FAFSA will give them. It's a shame that these professors don't seem to care about students. I had a lot of medical issues and still am able to keep up with the support of E. Sherouse, J. Richardson, E. Azzard, T. Pyles and J.Grimes and S. Parrish (truly Love her), All these Professors showed compassion, empathy and supported me while still maintaining the guidelines of the University. I will pursue my career for a Master's degree, but I will NOT pursue it at American Intercontinental University. I will go where there is compassion for students and not professors who are itchy with the pen and don't mind failing a student who is trying their best or who they can see need help and send information without the "F" looking them in their face. I should have been on the graduation list for March, now I have to wait until May. SMH"

"I'll start with the best things I can say about the program I am in. It has the potential to be an incredible program. The material is there as well as a great library and a great support and tutoring system. The instructors could be a little less robotic in how they grade. There are some good instructors that do enhance learning, but they are few and far between. There should be an entrance exam, especially for reading\writing\grammar. I've come across some dubious classmates that look to have sub high school grammar and writing skills. Group projects are the worse. I've had 3 in different classes. I hold a 4.0 and I don't play around with my grade, therefore I did all the heavy lifting in those courses that had group projects. On 2 of the three I did all the work myself. On the third one, I had only very small contributions. In those situations, I have heard consistently "I'm confused by the assignment". I usually take a leadership role and try to explain and get everyone involved or motivated, but you can only lead a horse to water as they say. The material is challenging and is conducive to learning. Anyone that says otherwise is lying to themselves. I've been able to go back to material I've learned many times, even within my field and with coworkers. It's a quality education. If you can read and apply a rubric to the work you have to do, you'll be fine. I don't think that they will institute and barrier to entry, as that would cost their for-profit model to take a hit. They also do a lot of concentration on Sales. It becomes annoying at times. Will employers look at this school beneficially? Who knows. It really depends on your level of responsibility for the job you are applying for. It's a good school, that isn't cheap, but is set up for success. I'd fully recommend it for people in my shoes. For me this was a goal and a formality. I have my career built on my Military background. I've gotten great jobs with just my years of experience. I will be pursuing my MBA with AIU as well. They now own Trident University, so if money and time permits, I'll be pursuing my Doctorate after that with Trident. I'd love to come back and work with AIU to formalize their program for profit, but also for recognition of what is offered and to increase it's value proposition."
