The faculty and staff at American InterContinental University strive to offer every student an educational experience that’s both personalized and rich. And with our custom-made course content delivery system, M.U.S.E, AIU offers the opportunity to navigate your course materials in a way that can help you learn based on your specific needs.
M.U.S.E., which stands for My Unique Student Experience, is designed to provide course materials that are tailored to various learning styles. Whether you learn best with visual tools, experiential learning or problem solving, there are 11 different ways for you to work with your course content. M.U.S.E. encourages students to watch, view, read, create and explore—all could be at your own pace and on your own terms.
The benefits of online education can include more than the ability to take classes from anywhere; online university courses can make it easier for students to absorb information and to demonstrate what you’ve learned. With M.U.S.E, students can watch videos and presentations, which is a good method for visual learners. Other choices include viewing images, flowcharts and illustrations, and you have the liberty to review them as many times as you need.
For more hands-on learners, the “Try it” and “Create it” options—interactive tutorials and design activities with no set “correct” answers—can allow students to learn by connecting with the material first-hand. The “Practice it” and “Solve it” options are ideal for students who learn by testing and repetition. And M.U.S.E. is online and available 24/7, providing students with the chance to work with your course content whenever you can devote time and focus to your classes.
M.U.S.E was created to function with a variety of learning styles, but it’s also focused on the educational needs of adults returning to college. Adult learners bring several specific elements into their education: a desire to take control of your learning; a wealth of life experiences; applicable, real-world uses for what you learn; and an internal motivation to learn. The online degree programs at AIU are built with adult learners and returning students in mind, and M.U.S.E. helps facilitate the connection between what students have experienced and how they process their course content.
A commitment to our students and a drive to help you reach your goals is what sets AIU apart from other online degree programs. With M.U.S.E., AIU provides you with the tools you need to earn a degree, but we also create an environment that encourages learners of all types to take ownership of their futures. If you want freedom to guide your educational goals, American InterContinental University can be excellent choice.
