Online Distance Degree

Posts Tagged ‘aiu’

Has anyone used or know anything about American Intercontinental University and its online programs? You cant access their website without filling out an application and I really dont want advisors calling me everyday trying to put the hard sell on me!

Is this place reputable? Im wanting an online degree in Visual Communications and Graphic Arts. Its just almost impossible to find information on a school without them throwing the sales pitch at you. I just want to compare schools and my options.

Any suggestions?

According to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) website, AIU is accredited but on probation. Probation is the highest punishment SACS will give other than denying accreditation. AIU was placed on probation in December 2005. By December 2006, AIU was still found to be in non-compliance and their probation was extended one year. Two years is the maximum amount of time SACS will allow a school to remain on probation. If AIU does not fix the very serious non-compliance issues, they will lose accreditation in December 2007. At that point, a degree from AIU will be useless. I highly recommend that all current students transfer schools immediately. I also recommend that prospective students consider other schools before AIU.

I am going to be taking classes at AIU (American Intercontinental University) online in October, but have looked into AI (the Art Institute -www.aionline.com) art curriculum… I dont know which one is more beneficial, and I have yet to hear from the people on campus in which I have contacted with the same question.

Do you know that AIU’s accreditation has been rescinded? Are you aware of the numerous troubles students have had with their so-called degree programs? Why in the world are you considering taking courses through them?

If you MUST take online courses, please take them under the auspices of a well-known and REGIONALLY (not nationally) accredited university. Many reputable state universities offer online courses (and even degrees) these days. Please do your research before you waste all of your money.

I am thinking about going to college, using their online program. Are their Degrees going to be worth my time? Are their degrees accepted elsewhere?

AIU has regional accreditation by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). Regional is a higher level accreditation then national, which community colleges have. SACS is the same accrediting body that all of the southern state universities use, such as University of Georgia, U of Auburn, Alabama, etc. Being regionally accredited will translate into a great degree.

I am currently enrolled in AIU as well.
