AIU is a unique educational online learning institution. Our Primary goal at Atlantic International University, is to accommodate students by meeting their individual needs. For this reason, our degree programs are flexible and have been designed for accelerated completion.

Our programs encourage students to demonstrate competency through independent learning as well as reading and research in their field of study. AIU offers educational opportunities in the United States to students from around the world in an effort to propel them to discovering their best selves by using their own potential to manage their personal, global and cultural development. This is actualized through the evaluation of their credentials towards a Bachelor's, a Master's or a Doctorate degree, and this also implies capability for sustainable results-based performance. The foundational axis of such a philosophy rest on self-actualized knowledge and information, which is embedded into a distance learning system based on ANDRAGOGY and OMNIOLOGY. Andragogy means, ADULT EDUCATION.

At AIU we have a strong Academic Faculty. We call them "Academic Advisors" because their job is to facilitate the learning process of the student through the Andragogic Model of Education. This is one of the reasons why AIU earned PREMIER Status from our Accreditation Agency Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC). 

At AIU we constantly receive written testimonials sent by our graduated students, Video Testimonials and also we have Special Interviews with our outstanding graduated students around the world.
