Student/Alumni Testimonials

Debra Lerten
MBA with a concentration in Operations Management

In 2005 we were informed that our company was about to be purchased by Sprint who had also just acquired Nextel. My experience with mergers has not been the best in the past, so I started looking at professional positions and found that most required at least a Master's degree. After extensive research I found that AIU Online not only had the degree program I was looking for, but also had partnerships with several companies across the US.

After making contact with AIU Online and filling out all the forms, I was really excited to start my education. The requirements were high but that also gave me a challenge.

Every class has been an education in itself and made me realize that I have greater potential and the ability to accomplish my dreams. Each instructor is different and it takes an ability to adapt to changes in order to work well.

My Student Advisor was wonderful in that he gave me encouragement to continue when I thought I couldn’t. Just having someone there to talk to and having him or her seriously listen makes all the difference.

Overall my experience with AIU Online has been wonderful. Fun instructors gave me inspiration to always continuously improve. I will miss having classes to work on. It has been the best educational experience of my life, and I feel that I have real mentors for the first time in my life. Thank you.
