Your AIU Distance Learning program will
be a custom-made program, designed just
for you by you and your advisor. This flexibility
to meet your needs is seldom found in other
distance learning programs. Our program
does not require every student to study
the same subjects and use the same books
and other learning materials as every other
student. Instead our online Bachelor's programs
are designed just for you. They are individually
designed to meet your needs and help you
to reach your professional and personal
goals. If you want much more than normal
results from your efforts, AIU Bachelor
programs are what you are looking for.
The Bachelor's program
is offered for various disciplines and allows
students to develop areas needed for growth
in their profession. Since each student's
area of work is unique based on the company,
position, or industry they work in, the
objectives for the courses taken also allow
for modification and individualization.
Studies leading to the Bachelor's degree
are designed to give the candidate thorough
and comprehensive knowledge of his or her
professional field, as well as training
in data interpretation and analytical skills.
One of the key goals for the Bachelor's
program at AIU is to give students the tools
and confidence to carry out self-education;
these skills are indispensable as they allow
students to adapt to their ever changing
environment or situation without depending
necessarily on a higher education institution.
The criteria for granting the degree shall
be the candidate's comprehension of the
subject matter and a demonstrated ability
to perform independent research. In addition,
the candidate must have the ability to express
thoughts clearly, both verbally and in written
form.
The Bachelor's program
aims to develop an understanding of your
field beyond the textbook to integrate theories
into practical real world applications.
The application of theory into practice
through real life models, and the effective
communication of information through the
appropriate channels prevent the fish out
of water feelings often experienced by graduates
when they enter the professional arena for
the first time.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR PROGRAM
 The
Bachelor's Degree Program at AIU is a custom-tailored
suit of educational clothing. AIU has developed
a protocol to Quantify and Qualify an individual's
professional background, as well as, their
academic credentials, and grant Academic
Credit to qualified students commensurate
with their true level of knowledge. After
initial review and evaluation, the Student's
Academic Status is defined. This definition
establishes the approximate number of Academic
Credit Hours the University will grant the
Student toward the Student's designated
Degree Program.
Development of course
and curricula is a collaborative activity,
between the Student and the Academic Advisor.
Each Student's Curricula is unique, and
developed as a result of the mutual efforts
of the Student, the Academic Staff and the
Academic Advisor. To fulfill the requirements
of the Degree Program as established by
the Academic Committee, the Student performs
research, (using the Internet or other Approved
Resources), to investigate and select courses
from at least 2, AIU Approved colleges or
universities, offering the same discipline
at the Bachelor level, as the Student's
designated Degree Program.
The Student will
select courses based upon the Student's
need to acquire the knowledge and Master
the objectives defined, in the course descriptions
and objectives, as itemized in the Course
Catalogs of such Approved Institutions.
The Student will be the initial arbiter
of the courses selected. The culmination
of the course selection process is the class
session with the Academic Advisor. During
this class, the Student's Courses and Curricula
will be established, and approved.
Bachelor's Programs are available in many
disciplines, and demonstrate the Student's
ability to perform work in the selected
field of study. The capstone of the Program
is the Bachelor's Thesis, an original work
which showcases the Candidate's mastery
of the selected discipline, produces significant
insights and findings based on original
thought and research, and contributes to
the advancement of thought and knowledge
on a universal scale.
Studies leading
to the Bachelor degree are designed to give
the candidate thorough and comprehensive
knowledge of his or her professional field,
as well as training in research methods.
The criteria for granting the degree shall
be the candidate's comprehension of the
subject matter and a demonstrated ability
to perform independent research. In addition,
the candidate must have the ability to express
thoughts clearly, both verbally and in written
form.
