Students who have been homeschooled are required to supply additional documentation and may reach out to an Admissions Advisor for further guidance. For master's degree programs, proof of graduation from an accredited U.S. or internationally recognized foreign institution with a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.0 is also required, and college transcripts will be verified prior to acceptance.

Our handy list of the most common admissions questions can be found on our admissions FAQ page, but prospective applicants are encouraged to speak with an Admissions Advisor if their questions are not addressed on this list.

Associate, Bachelor's, and Master's Degrees—An Overview

Deciding what degree level is best for you may be an easy choice, or it could involve a number of factors unique to your personal situation. No matter what path you choose, all of AIU's online degree programs are self-paced, meaning you have the freedom to attend part-time or full-time, or even accelerate the timeline to degree completion by taking on a greater course-load and fewer breaks.

  • Completing an online associate degree program could set the foundation for pursuing a more advanced degree or it could help you pursue a career path in your desired field.
  • A bachelor's degree program typically provides more in-depth coverage of a given subject area than an associate degree program because it involves the completion of more courses. AIU's online bachelor's degree programs are offered in a wide selection of disciplines and specializations.
  • Generally speaking, pursuing a master's degree involves more advanced study of a given field than a bachelor's degree program. Students may decide to enroll in one of our online master's degree programs to work to gain more experience in a particular subject, or to prepare to pursue a new career path.
