American InterContinental University Reviews

"First I transferred into AIU, I attended this university from 2005 until 2007 and I graduated. I did a volunteer internship at my local county courthouse and I work in law enforcement at the same time. Excellent professors and I learned a lot. However, I tell most people you have to be self motivated, dedicated to studying alone and being very engaged in the online discussion just beyond getting a grade. I'm currently working in the federal government as a Manager and I have about 3 years with my agency. It's all about what you put into yoru studies and what you get out of the classes that you take. However, I recommend taking class at a brick and mortar school first before going online.Read Less"

"This was an online program with a face to face concept. We logged in to a weekly class session where we were able to ask questions and interact with the professor and each other. What I learned has promoted me to be one of the highest salaries in my field as well as work in a position where I am applying what I learned and gaining more knowledge. I do not feel that I would be as successful in my career if I did not attempt this wonderful college. I am constantly promoting this school to anyone that asks where I earned my degree. If you are looking for the convenience of an online program with the rigor of a face to face program where you actually feel like you are learning and can apply knowledge, this is the perfect school!Read Less"

"AIU is an excellent opportunity to further your education. I have had an excellent student advisor who has been great support for me. The financial aid department will go above and beyond the call of duty to see you have everything needed. The professors were caring about my education!"

"I only took a few courses online at this school...after talking to many students that have graduated from this school. Majority of them couldn't find a job after graduating and the interviewers said they've never heard about this school. So I decided to drop out, couple years later, looked at my student loans and it said I owed $16k!!! Tried making payments but I was only paying enough for the interest...by this rate I'll be paying for this for the rest of my life!!"

"American InterContinental University provides a great online undergraduate program. I attended class at a regular college campus before AIU and was so glad I transferred. Attending school online provided better schedule flexibility for work and other activities. Students are not required to attend lectures, but have access to watch them after the fact. In addition the course work at AIU is much different than any other college I attended previously. Rather than having tests and quizzes, the classes at AIU are primarily papers, presentations or projects. This type of coursework was much better for me because the coursework allowed more time to complete the work assigned, and did not require mass memorization. I would recommend AIU's online classes to anyone who needs schedule flexibility, and also has the discipline to complete the coursework on time. Since there is no physical class, it is up to the student to keep themselves motivated and completing the work based on the syllabus given.Read Less"

"AIU was thorough in assessing my past experience and schooling to give me credits. This allowed me to have less credits to finish and to complete my degree faster. All of the faculty was professional, friendly, and helpful. I wanted to do my schooling entirely online, which AIU allowed, and the school interface was intuitive and easy to use."

"It wasn't the golden parachute that I thought and I got it without enough work experience to make it pay off."

"I loved the convenience of being able to complete my assignments on my time and not have to be in "class" at a certain time."

"It was very quick and difficult but it was also convenient. I wouldn't recommend doing online school when you are making another major life change, like getting married, moving and starting a different job. It was nice being able to choose when I would be doing the work, though. I really missed the social interactions but everything else was worthwhile."

"I loved it! Their online program was really flexible and allowed me to still work fulltime while focusing on my studies. I did not have one bad professor! Would definitely recommend."

"I like my school because it provides great benefits for AT&T employees like me. We get a really great discount on top of the reimbursement money. Going to school is way easier online than when I use to attend in the campus. Now that I have a husband and 3 small kids on top of being a full time employee, I find it really convenient to attend online classes. You still have to participate and do your tasks but you can do it in your own time. I like the flexibility a lot. My school has very supportive staff, from my student advisor to my facilitators. They all help me out to be where I need to be. I like our online portal, it is a very effective tool to learn new things. All in all, I am very satisfied with the way things are going right now.Read Less"

"AIU Online is a great school and I recommend it to anyone who has a full time job that wants to further their education. My professors were great and very effective in their communication. My student advisers would always check in with me to see how i am doing or if i had any issues. This school does care about their students!"

"The teachers and financial aid hate veterans. I have been trying to get FA for a year now, I send in the paper work it takes FA weeks to look at it and then they nit pick it and reject it. I have called them and been laughed at. The teachers grade veterans differently I had an A in one class and got one F on a paper and I went from an A to D. I got an F just because I did not go in depth enough when I responded to a post. this is just a few of things AIU has done. I would tell veterans DO NOT WASTE YOU GI BILL HERE.Read Less"

"American InterContinental Online was a great online program. The curriculum was great and the classes were pertinent to my career. Online access was very easy and quick response to questions. It greatly prepared me for my career and afforded me an opportunity to move up in my previous position."

"AIU helped me prepare for success through class room training and networking with students across the country. I was exposed to many different fields of work through interaction with my peers and professors, it increased my ability to understand business operations in new perspectives. Additionally i have been able create a network that has enriched my personal and professional life."

"Well I took it online and it was pretty good since it was my first time doing it online."

"It was very challenging. I enjoyed the interactions with the other classmates. The layout of the class schedules worked out fine. I did not particularly like that the classes were rushed in some areas because I felt like I could learn a bit more. Overall it was a good experience."

"Their online program was great. Having the ability to pause, rewind, and review the lectures was extremely valuable. I earned my bachelors degree and got a job as a software engineer, now making twice as much as I was before starting college. The best part was that the material didn't focus on memorizing useless facts and obsolete techniques, but rather focused on the underlying fundamentals that technology is built on. All of the classes were challenging, and I had to retake Biology because the material was fairly difficult. At the end of the day, if your going into the Technology Sector, its critical to find the school that is the most up-to-date from a technology standpoint or you will end up learning about the algorithms that were used in the 1980s and 1990s being taught from some guy who learned everything he knows about computers from a book. 4 stars.Read Less"
