American InterContinental University Online Review

American InterContinental Online thrives on the idea that earning a degree should not mean giving up your life for a few years to do so. They have made earning a degree online accessible to all and easy enough for even those new to using computers. Just having basic computer skills qualifies you to get started earning a degree online through their accredited institution. Founded in 1970, they offer a variety of associate, bachelor and master degree programs that can be earned completely online.

With a focus on career fields that are in high demand, they offer degrees that can help you enter or excel in those chosen fields. Popular programs include visual communications, marketing, healthcare management, education, criminal justice, education, and business administration. Many of the programs offer concentration areas to further explore an area of interest, such as the digital design and Web design concentrations that are offered within the visual communication degree program.

Admission to the university does not require college entrance exams. Those with a high school diploma or its equivalent can attend. Those students that are not native to English will need to submit an English proficiency assessment. They offer general as well as international admissions and unique to most online colleges is that they offer a live chat option that is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, to help prospective students with questions and support. They do offer financial aid assistance to qualifying students, by helping with information leading to tuition reimbursement, grants, scholarships, federal financial aid, and even private loans.

American InterContinental Online maintains an alumni association for graduates. Through this, graduates can network, keep up on job postings, learn about lifelong learning grants, receive career assistance, and receive their information newsletter. Their goal with the alumni association is to keep in contact with graduates and provide them a resourceful tool that they can use long after earning their degree. Along with their online learning focus, they do also have several campuses located in states throughout the country.
