Alliance Advantages

AIU Educational Alliances Center

Companies and organizations that participate in the AIU Educational Alliances Program can offer their most valuable employees the opportunity to grow personally, professionally and academically through programs designed to build upon strengths, create new challenges, and that allow them to play an even greater role in their company’s success.

An educational alliance with AIU is beneficial to both businesses and employees.

Advantages for Business

  • Flexible Technology – To best serve professionals with varied learning styles, we have integrated our flexible M.U.S.E. (My Unique Student Experience™) learning platform into our online courses so that employees can take control of their online learning experience in a way that best suits them.
  • A Streamlined Process – The AIU Educational Alliances Center can manage the entire process from enrollment to tuition reimbursement. Your business can be signed up shortly after our first meeting.
  • Seminar Speakers – The AIU Educational Alliances Center will be happy to prepare a formal presentation for your Human Resources or Training and Development department.
  • Marketing Materials – We offer a variety of marketing materials to your Human Resources or Training and Development departments that explain the features and benefits of an AIU Educational Alliance. Brochures, intranet links, displays and other marketing collateral can be used to distribute to your employees.
  • Regionally Accredited – With so many options available to businesses, choosing an accredited university is important. American InterContinental University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association.

Advantages for Employees

  • Grant Program – AIU offers grant programs to enrolled workplace professionals and their eligible immediate family members. University grants or scholarships are based on established criteria as published in the University's catalog and are awarded after verification that the conditions of eligibility have been met.
  • Waived Application Fee – All AIU Educational Alliances will have the application fee waived for employees and their eligible immediate family members.
  • Award-Winning Virtual Campus – AIU maximizes modern technologies to create an amazingly real academic community on the web. In fact, practically anything your employees can accomplish on a traditional college campus can be achieved on the Virtual Campus of AIU Online, recognized as “Best of the Best” in the Education and Academia category of the 2009 Computerworld Honors Program.
  • Adaptability – We're aware that some people are in a bigger hurry to earn their degrees than others, so we allow them to control the pace of their studies with full-time and part-time options. The award-winning* Virtual Campus of AIU Online also offers an extraordinary amount of flexibility regarding how quickly you can earn your degree, including accelerated Bachelor's degree programs that can be completed as quickly as 17 months, and Master's degrees that can be completed in as little as 12 months.
  • Generous Transfer-In Policy** – Many career-minded professionals have already earned some college credit, or even their Associate or Bachelor's degree, through another institution. At AIU, we value employee education and experience, and we want you to know that our University allows you to transfer in up to 75% of our degree requirements from your approved, past college credits and life experience.** In fact, many AIU students are motivated by the opportunity to earn the academic credentials to complement their current professional knowledge and skills.
  • Books and Fees Included in Tuition – We’re focused on providing employees with tuition that includes books and fees for the undergraduate or graduate degree program you choose to pursue. How much they pay for their education is an important consideration, and we don't want employees to be surprised by unexpected expenses once they begin their studies. AIU also offers additional grants and benefits to many of our educational alliances.***

With AIU, you can establish a relationship committed to the education, development and retention of your employees.
