The AIU Online Virtual Campus
Changing the Landscape of Modern Education
Traditionally, some of the main reasons high school graduates choose to continue their educations by enrolling at colleges and universities included:
- Expanding their range of thinking
- Enriching themselves both academically and personally
- Creating opportunities to form lasting bonds with classmates, instructors and advisors
The landscape of modern education is changing dramatically as technology and the increasing popularity of broadband Internet connections allow a quality education to be delivered, on demand, to any Internet-connected computer. These amazing advancements are broadening the educational horizons for students who live too far from a traditional university, are frustrated by the ever-increasing costs of college room and board, or are simply opting to get a job and work while they pursue their collegiate degrees.
AIU Online's dynamic, interactive Virtual Campus brings a true university experience to the convenience of your Internet-connected computer. When you enroll at AIU Online, you'll attend your classes here, research your studies here and have a chat with classmates, instructors and advisors... all right here. In fact, there's not much you can do at a traditional brick-and-mortar university that you can't do right here, except perhaps eat dorm food! AIU Online puts you in control of your education, enabling you to integrate your studies into your busy schedule, not the other way around. You can study at work if you choose to get a job right after high school. Or, you can study at home anytime you want, day or night. You can even go mobile by accessing your classes at an increasing number of cellular service providers offering wireless Internet connections to their customers.
All of AIU Online's coursework is delivered via rich, multimedia presentations, providing you with an uncommonly in-depth educational experience. Best of all, much of the technology used to deliver our world-class degree programs (Flash, email, real-time chat sessions, etc) will already be second-nature to you, since you've literally grown up using computers and advancing technologies.
AIU Online Lectures
AIU Online's multimedia classroom presentations are under your control. View and listen to them as often as you like. Print a hard copy of the transcripts to take with you wherever you go. And, you never have to miss instructor-led discussions, because you can pause, rewind and fast-forward them. Plus, there is a glossary of terms section available in every class. It is a dynamic campus experience you can access anytime, anywhere.
Class Participation
As a student at AIU Online, you'll interact with instructors and fellow students via email and scheduled, live online discussions. You may also have opportunities to do a little professional networking for the future, since many of your classmates are likely to be working professionals whose insights and experiences may prove valuable to you.
Our Award-Winning Online Library
No real university would be complete without a world-class library. The AIU Online Library brings the resources of a full academic library to a student's desktop computer, providing anytime online access to thousands of articles from newspapers, magazines and scholarly journals.
Access a World-Class Education... Virtually Anywhere!
Finally, there's an online education that takes full advantage of emerging, interactive technologies. AIU Online's amazing Virtual Campus puts you at the cutting edge of interactive multimedia courses. You really have to experience it to believe it!
