The AIU Difference
Science has yet to discover the precise mechanism
by which the individual learns. However, it
is acknowledged that the act of learning is
endogenous, (from within), rather than exogenous.
This fact is the underlying rationale for
"Distance Learning" in general, and all of
the degree programs offered by the University.
The combination of the underlying principles
of student "self instruction", (with guidance),
collaborative development of curriculum unique
to each student, and flexibility of time and
place of study, provides, what we consider
to be, the ideal learning environment. It
is created with the purpose of satisfying
individual needs and providing personal development
for each student. Atlantic International University
exists as an institution of experiential learning
and nontraditional education at a distance.
There are no classrooms and attendance is
not required.
AIU Service
Our Primary goal at Atlantic International
University is to accommodate adult 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, reading
and research in their field of study. AIU
offers educational opportunities in the United
States to adults from around the world so
that they can better themselves using their
own potential to manage their personal, global
cultural development. This is actualized through
the evaluation of their credentials towards
a bachelor's, a Master's and/or a Doctorate
degree, and this also implies a capability
for sustainable results-based performance.
The foundational axis of such a philosophy
lies upon self-actualized knowledge and information,
with no room for obsoleteness, which is embedded
into a distance learning system based on ANDRAGOGY
and OMNIOLOGY. The ultimate goal of this paradigm
is to empower learners and help them take
advantage of the enormous array of resources
from the world environment in order to eliminate
the current continuum of poverty and limitations.
To this end, depending on the circumstances,
students are able to convert their past into
a self-propelled growth module constantly
on the move, away from the accredited, traditional
systems that foster limitations and caducity.
This will become a crude reality with respect
for, and practice of, human and community
rights through experiences, investigations,
practicum work, and/or examinations, according
to an independent student's individual idiosyncrasy
at AIU. Everything takes place in a setting
that fosters diversity with more than 10 millions
full texts and about 47 millions bibliographic
references in more than 400 languages; while
advisors and consultants with doctorate degrees
and specializations in Human Development monitor
learning processes; in addition to a worldwide
web of colleagues and associations in different
academic areas; so that they can reach together
the satisfaction and the progress of humanity
with peace and harmony.
