Student/Alumni Testimonials

Sophia Matsakis
M.Ed. – Instructional Technology

As an educator myself, it was important for me to make the right choice when deciding on a graduate school. I enrolled in the Masters of Education with a concentration in Instructional Technology at AIU Online. I cannot begin to describe this life changing experience, which not only promoted my growth as a professional, but my personal growth as well. The degree program provided all the necessary tools and the virtual classroom a fertile ground for learning. The program encouraged community and collaborative learning and the instructors utilized teaching strategies that encouraged the students to take charge of their learning environment, while providing the right amount of support.

I looked forward everyday to entering the virtual classroom. Each instructor left a mark on me and I have walked away with the influences of each and every one of them. I can tell you there is no tougher group of students to teach than teachers. My fellow students were constantly challenged and at the end of the journey we all were to sad to see it end. We felt truly educated.

I want to thank the AIU Online Career Services Department as well. They were wonderful to work with and what impressed me most is that they contacted me long before my graduation and began the process. They spent a great amount of time helping me fine tune my resume and were very prompt and diligent to send me leads each and every week. I didn't feel like I was on my own.

I cannot say enough of how this experience changed my life and how satisfied I feel that I chose AIU Online. I am now moving forward with my Ph.D. and will utilize all the tools I gained from my studies at AIU Online in every aspect of my life.
