Read what others are saying about AIU Online…
I was excited about the fast pace. When you’ve waited as long as I did to go back to school, you want to get it done as quickly as possible. AIU Online has it just right: it’s fast, but I don’t feel rushed. There is still time to learn all the concepts.
Anne Clark
BBA Organizational Psychology & Development
My father and my husband are both always asking me what the latest and greatest things I’ve learned in class are. I’ve helped their businesses out just as much as I have my own!
Cheri Willard
BBA Healthcare Management
Online learning at AIU Online is convenient. It fits into my schedule and enables me to continue my business. It is also more personal than I ever imagined.
Cherrie Buscher
Master of Education
…due to the exceptional experience I had with all the instructors at AIU Online, I chose to follow in their footsteps and become an online professor myself. My family is so proud.
Crystal Dye
Master of Information Technology
My education at AIU Online allowed me to do things in my field that I didn’t believe possible. It gave me the opportunity to really spend some time with the tools of my trade and offered me the chance to get to know some great people from all walks of life. AIU Online is not just an ‘I teach, you learn’ kind of environment, but one where you interact with others of similar interests and professions and grow together. I enjoyed being a part of that.
David Albertson
BFA Visual Communication
…by the time I’m actually finished with the program, I’ll have a great portfolio to show clients and be well on my way to my dream job as a freelance designer.
Dona Shue
Bachelor of Fine Arts
I got my education so I don’t have to worry about where my two kids’ next meal is coming from and whether or not I can afford all the housing bills this month.
Fredric Francis

AIU Online is very rewarding. The more you interact with students and staff through the Virtual Campus, the more you learn..

I am the first to graduate from college from either side of my family! I consider the fact that I got my college degree, at the age of 50, one of my most significant accomplishments…
Glorida Lord
BFA Visual Communications
There was a great technical support department. I don’t know how many times I almost blew up my computer and the technical support department was able to help me immediately.
Gwen Gaines

With the knowledge and skills I acquired through AIU Online I am able to help others to help themselves.
Jacob Massaquoi, II
MBA Organizational Psychology & Development
I realized it wasn’t other people blocking me. I was the one blocking myself. Once I realized and accepted that, it was easy enough to change.
Jessi Peralez
Bachelor of Information Technology
I really wasn’t expecting the sense of community and camaraderie I’ve found. But just as in real life, online students demonstrate leadership, intelligence, humor and flexibility.
Joe Alt
Master of Education
I was offered this new position because of the skills I learned at AIU. Well, that and the fact that I’m now more marketable and my bosses knew they could lose me to someone else. They didn’t want that to happen.
Jose Pacheco
BBA Accounting & Finance
The military has such great education benefits, it seemed a waste if I didn’t take advantage of them. And even though I don’t know specifically what I want to do with a degree, having a degree never hurts. If anything, it gives me more options.
Josh Frye
AA Business Administration
AIU Online gave me the encouragement to apply my knowledge and gave me confidence in knowing that I could one day make a better life for myself.
Loretta Brown-Freddie
MBA Human Resource Management
I looked into a lot of online universities and AIU Online looked like the best match for me. I felt they hadn’t just taken a classroom curriculum and retrofitted it to an online scenario; the curriculum was designed specifically for online learning.
Mark Soloway
MBA Accounting & Finance
When I was attending the brick and mortar university, the professors dictated my schedule. AIU Online allows me to decide when I go to class 24/7. My classroom is everywhere I look.
Michael Luster
MBA Healthcare Management
With an MBA, the possibilities are endless. You can be whatever you want. Although, since I wasn’t born here I can’t be president; but nearly everything else is wide open!
Mohammad Aslami
MBA
Getting my degree was the best thing I could have done for myself and my kids. Education is an investment you make in yourself that no one can take away from you. If you invest in yourself, you can give so much more to others.
Monique Johnson
MBA Healthcare Management
Why couldn’t people call me ‘Doctor?’ I’ve been stuck inside the box for so long, I’m so excited to finally be achieving something. I don’t want to stop. It’s like a rush. Thanks AIU Online!

The course content is based on practice as well as theory, so I find that what I am learning is of immediate use to me in my work environment.

Perphelia Fowler
MBA Human Resource Management
I was happy to pick up new skills in those classes and I have to say I really, really enjoyed doing all the research projects the instructors assigned. Surprisingly, it was really fun.
Raymond Nagel
MBA
Students I know that attend bricks and mortar campuses barely speak with their professors. At AIU Online we can call them, instant message them, and we’re on a first name basis.
Salomena Bollinger
AABA Information Systems
AIU Online moved at the speed I wanted to, I felt I would get my money’s worth from it, and the IT curriculum was exactly what I needed to learn so that I could apply it at work.
Scott Esmond

The classes are extremely current and immediately valuable in my career. The instructors continue to challenge and lead the students, and are by far the finest asset to the university.

MBA Project Management
There were so many avenues of learning things – tutorials, the Online Library, and even asking the facilitators. The pace was fast, but that was what I wanted and it didn’t take long to discipline myself and find my niche balancing life and school.

I believe all the skills and knowledge I have gained through the military, AIU Online and my experience as a contractor will come together and make me successful in owning and operating a business.

Every advisor I came in contact with was wonderful, and one of the best things that I can say is that the AIU Online staff is very knowledgeable and respected in the education community.

I wasn’t after a piece of paper, I wanted knowledge. I don’t know if I was the typical student, but I was highly motivated to learn and found the instructors at AIU Online very helpful.
Tim Davidson
MBA Internation Business
The Virtual Campus is awesome! There are too many variables and services that are available to adequately or fairly single out any one specific thing as being the best.
Tom Hughes
MBA Operations Management
At AIU Online, I got the attitude that it’s never too late to continue your education. I thought that being my late 40s, I would be the oldest student in my class, but I wasn’t.
