Online Classes - The Learning Experience

AIU offers online classes that meet the needs of today's students. AIU Online students not only interact with each other in dynamic group situations but also correspond individually with classmates and instructors throughout their courses.

AIU Online has improved the "traditional" class structure where you listen to a lecture, take notes, memorize them and then regurgitate the information back to the instructor on an exam. Instead, we've taken a more practical approach for today's busy professional. AIU Online's degree programs are designed to not only test your memory but also your comprehension and ability to properly apply information learned in class in a real-world setting.

At AIU Online, we realize that working in the professional world is not just about memorizing information for exams. You will not show up to work and be asked to hand in a multiple-choice exam at the end of the day. On the contrary, you may be asked to manage a project or develop a new business plan or marketing strategy. You might be asked to manage a team. AIU Online's degree programs were developed with these real-world concepts in mind.

As an AIU Online student, you will be engaged in classes and online learning that will give you information and provide you with skills that can be used in the workplace. Instead of exams, you will complete individual and group projects to ensure you've truly grasped and can apply the concepts learned in the course. And we believe this approach truly tests whether a student has learned the course material.
