Another big advantage over a number of other colleges and universities that Strayer has are their “Work/Life Learning Credits” where they give you college credits for your previous work history, life experience, education and equivalency exams, ensuring that you’re taking only the courses you need to in order to get your degree as fast as possible.

Strayer also offers extremely flexible class schedules.  You can attend day or evening classes seven days a week at a local campus or online.  Online courses can be participated in live with the rest of the class and a live instructor, or even on your own at your own pace.

In order to help you on your educational journey, Strayer offers financial assistance, Federal grants and loans, active duty military scholarships, veterans educational benefits, employer tuition assistance and a variety of private loans and scholarships.  With all of these tools at their disposal, Strayer is uniquely positioned to help you fulfill all of your educational goals.

Aside from all of the standard services one would expect at a University (financial assistance, employer tuition reimbursement, career services,  etc.) The American InterContinental University has a well-regarded study abroad program, established in 1989, and has hosted students from over 500 U.S. colleges and universities.  In addition to their campuses in London and Dubai, the American InterContinental University also offers “special destination” programs led by the London faculty in culture-rich cities like Paris, Florence and Cape Town.

The American InterContinental University focuses on a more experience-based approach to teaching, meaning their faculty dedicate themselves to teaching the skills you’re going to actually put to use in the workplace.  In order to accomplish this, their faculty have usually come from the field they’re teaching, ensuring them to be fountains of insider knowledge about the sector of industry they hail from.  The American InterContinental University has a long history of alumni who move onto incredibly important and influential jobs in a variety of fields.

In addition to their impressive offerings here in the United States and Abroad, the American InterContinental University is also a benevolent institution, dedicated to philanthropy, recently commiting $1.2 million dollars in a full scholarship partnership with the Big Brothers Big Sisters foundation.

Although the coursework is online, classes are capped off by live quizzes, providing you with instant feedback about what you’ve learned and what areas you need to improve on.  Each course is accompanied with message boards for you to interact with other students and faculty members in real-time, creating a real community to help bolster your learning and understanding of your chosen field.

Even though the courses are online, genuine instructors teach all of the courses with real life experience in their specific field of study, ensuring that you’ll get the knowledge that only prior hands-on experience can provide to help serve you in the future.

One interesting perk that Kaplan University has over other online universities is their unique partnership with the University of Alabama in Huntsville Salmon Library, giving students access to over 325,000 volumes.  The library’s catalog is available online with a description of every item in the collection, and physical copies can be delivered to borrowers while smaller articles can be scanned electronically.

They will also allow you to take a look at a copy of your transcript free of charge, which could be helpful for any student looking to get into college.
