Choosing the right Online University Program
You know yourself best, deciding the right university program is a deeply personal choice. You should consider not only work opportunities or potential income but also what makes you happy and fulfilled.
What thing(s) do you do well effortlessly? Can you recall others recognizing or praising certain abilities or problems you helped resolve? These are highly consequential questions that will guide you to find the major and area of study ideally suited for you.
The AIU academic program allows you to change majors or enroll as undeclared with the intent to study a certain major. Undeclared students select a general area they think they will most likely decide upon, but are given the freedom to change it during Phase 1 of the AIU program.
Students who do declare a major may also change majors during Phase 1 so long as it is in a related area. If it is an unrelated area of study, the Academic department will need to review the eligibility based on the student’s application and request any additional details from the student if they are needed.

- Study at home or office
- Access learning resources online any time you need them

But earning a degree via distance learning is not right for everyone. There is the mistaken belief or myth that online distance learning programs are easier than traditional courses. The hard reality is that the dropout rate for higher education online programs is typically 20 percent higher than it is for traditionally delivered programs. Some of the challenges online distance learning students face revolve around discipline, organization, and independence. In a traditional setting, you would meet with a professor or attend a classroom, this forces you to get your work and readings done.
Since AIU programs are self-paced, students need to have the discipline to push themselves and impose deadlines to guarantee progress is made on their assignments. AIU students enjoy greater freedom in the content of their assignments, which in turn requires a greater degree of organization. Due to the nature of distance learning, students will need to be comfortable reading material on their own and working on exercises independently.
Distance-learning is clearly an accepted form of cost-effective education for working professionals. The growth and importance of the Internet is furthering the distance-learning concept daily and making independent study education accessible to more and more individuals. Employers are aware of the fact that attending a classroom university is not possible for a significant number of their workforce, yet they recognize the corporate benefits that a career-related degree program can bring to their employees.
Program duration varies greatly due to the different goals and entry levels of our students. In general, each course will take 4-6 weeks to complete. Time and schedule allowing students may take more than one course at a time. AIU students are required to have prior work experience in their field or a related field, most also have college credits or training above their last level of study. The number of courses required varies from student to student, the following are average course requirements: At the bachelor’s level, AIU students take 8-10 courses and a Final Project, for the Master’s program 8 courses plus Thesis, and for the Doctoral program 5 courses plus Dissertation. Most students will complete their program in less than 18 months.
