AIU Mission
American InterContinental University's mission is to provide for the varying educational needs of a culturally diverse and geographically dispersed student body with the goal of preparing students academically, personally, and professionally for successful careers.

Philosophy and Purpose
American InterContinental University believes it has a special commitment to support each individual's goals. To this end, the university places emphasis on the educational, professional, and personal growth of each student. Programs, policies, and activities, which have been designed to implement this philosophy and purpose statement, are evaluated periodically and changed, as necessary, to meet the needs of the student body and the institution.

AIU, as an international institution of higher education, encourages global understanding by providing an atmosphere of cultural diversity and opportunities for international education.

Goals of the University
In support of its philosophy and mission, AIU's goals are as follows:

• To enable an international student population to achieve personal and professional goals

• To enable students to rely on their cultural heritage and background as a foundation for their learning, growth and change

Accessibility
American InterContinental University believes that access to higher education is a fundamental right of all students regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, age, disability or socioeconomic status, and therefore serves student needs by providing accessible undergraduate and graduate degree programs that offer the opportunity for degree completion to students who have the desire, interest and motivation to succeed in their chosen career field.

Students may have previously encountered barriers to higher education that were unrelated to their academic potential, such as busy professional lives; lack of social, financial or family support; lack of self-motivation and direction; or other life challenges. The University understands these common student barriers to higher education goals and assists students to defeat these challenges so that they may open the door to degree completion, improved quality of life, and the personal rewards that come from these achievements.

Quality
American InterContinental University believes that the quality of educational programs and services should not be measured by the hours that a student sits in a classroom seat, but rather through the measurement of student learning and other student outcomes. Therefore, the University offers quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs and educational services that support the student from entrance to graduation and into the workplace.

To evaluate student learning outcomes, the University utilizes authentic assessment, which allows students to demonstrate their skills through the completion of real world, professional deliverables. In the real world, problems are not simple and seldom do they have one "right" answer. Students experience the complexity of real world problems and canlearn to select an appropriate approach to a problem that has more than one solution. Authentic assessment is integrated into the learning by defining the standards of performance that can be used to nurture the learner's development of the knowledge and skills required in the 21st Century workplace.

Opportunity
American InterContinental University believes in the emancipatory and liberatory quality of higher education that can empower graduates to become successful participants and contributors to a democratic society. Completion of an undergraduate or graduate degree program can offer students the opportunity for career entry or career enhancement in their chosen field of study. The mastery of knowledge and skills in the degree program also serves to prepare students for the opportunity to become understanding and participatory citizens in a diverse society and global community.
