American InterContinental University Reviews

Recruiting tactics are shady, not a quality degree, didn't get a promotion after graduation although they claimed MBA students would, the learning was subpar, the list goes on. A very disappointment experience, waste of time and money. Don't give it a second thought, go somewhere else.

American InterContinental University didn’t just give me a degree — it transformed my life. I came to AIU during a challenging season, and it became the place where I rebuilt my confidence, strengthened my discipline, and proved to myself that I could finish strong. The flexibility of the programs allowed me to combine all my learning into one degree while still managing real‑life responsibilities. What truly set AIU apart was the support. My advisors and the dean checked on me weekly, encouraged me, and made sure I never felt alone in the process. That level of care is rare in higher education, and it made AIU feel like my second home.

I attempted in 2009 and really enjoyed my classes and classmates. The professors were very helpful and also curious. I am planning to finish my degree soon.

Attended MS program using 2 types of federal aid. When started 2nd course they claimed the DPL was no longer showing, only it's MPN. They used it for the first course and it remained active, unexpired with their school. They refused to reply with this claim in writing despite my messages but called, was rude, unprofessional and dishonest. I contacted Studentaid.gov who confirmed that they were not only listed but had taken 100% of all of the aid for the year, just during the 1st course. Criminal.

I sat here and read the critiques criticize this fine university, and I wonder if these people that posted these were really not doing what they was supposed to do, in order to be all you can be. My experience has been the opposite. Not only did this school provide me with the education that I needed to succeed, but the support was overwhelming, from the President of the university to the academic advisor, including the financial department. Sure there were some instructors I felt that was nitpicking, but you would experience this at any other university.

After obtaining an online degree, I believe that you get out of it what you put in. There were people in my program who clearly did not want to get an education, but still passed the classes. If you turn something in, you will pass. This is not Harvard. But you can get a quality education if you seek it. The knowledge is available if you want it and all the support in the world is available for those who need it. I worked very hard and graduated with a degree in a very short time because I was able to double up classes.

They only hire online instructors who have little to no experience, and then wonder why their turnover rate is so high. They're always "hiring" new online faculty once every two - three months. For instance, I, literally, did the redesign for English 101 for the City Colleges of Chicago, and I train future teachers, and this school actually told me that I was not "qualified" to teach for them. What a joke.

I really don't like to write bad reviews about anything or anyone, however, this school warrants. Wanting to pursue and further my education, I chose AIU. Like many schools the admissions department was aggressive and persistent. My experience during my undergrad was mixed. I am usually an "C" student @ best, however, I graduated from this school with an "A"...Magna Cum Laude and a hand full of honor societies. The curriculum was weak and not up to date. Although I had some good professors, others lacked a sense of care and responsibility, this includes the admin department when trying to communicate issues. I am at the tail end of two careers, so this degree means little to me and is basically worthless when applying for a real job! Vet your schools carefully, and initiate the "buyer beware" mentality. There are better schools out there!

I have been attending AIU for the past 6 months. The program is very good. The faculty is very caring. The time commitment is very reasonable if you are willing to keep up with the work. I would highly recommend AIU to anyone that would be interested in advancing their education and career.

I made the choice of enrolling into the Bachelor's Degree Program at American Intercontinental University and it was by far one of the best decisions I have made! I am roughly 60% completed with my degree and so far the course work is manageable with a full time job and raising a child. I will admit managing a four year degree into two and a half years seemed a little scary in the beginning. I have made it through with a 4.0 GPA, making President's list every term and was also invited to join an International Honor Society for business students.
