American Intercontinental University

I do online courses and love my professors. Obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2019. Graduating next month with my MBA.

DON'T DO IT!! !! This school is a scam. I really regret getting involved. They are only after your money. This school is so small with so little classes yet so expensive. My friend is going there. .. I mean was! She was told that her financial aid was on its way only to receive 0.33¢ they told her it's because she was full time. I then called to question my financial aid and was told not to worry because I'm only part time. Once I get the card and call, they told me I won't be getting anything either. They called me everyday to get me enrolled and signed up. Once u are in, they won't give a care rather u move forward, know what's going on, nothing. I was withdrawn without any knowledge. Here I am thinking I'm ahead of my class. Now I can't get in touch with anyone. Everyone says they will call me after their meeting and I haven't gotten one call. Once you are in their whole attitude changes. I indeed hate this school and wish I never signed up. Now they say I owe. HOW? This school needs to be shut down!! Look at the graduation rate! Self explanatory

I attended many years ago when it became the American Intercontinental University, it was HORRIBLE then. The Fashion Design program was by far the worst ever. I took a CAD Class that the instructor admitted not knowing how to use. She said for us to “Figure It Out” and we did. Many of the instructors were very condescending in tone to the students, yet it’s the students whom are ultimately Paying the university and not the other way around and they’re rude. I looked at the curriculum of other universities and hindsight I should have attended elsewhere..I never graduated due to their skyrocketing tuition, and have yet to stitch a seam. Look at other real fashion Design schools . Don’t waste your time ,effort , and talent at this “FOR PROFIT ONLY” jungle! Now watch they send patent response they give all complaints on this review, they’re showing you they really don’t care, and they don’t value your business!

They are Absolutely—ALL ABOUT THE MONEY; that is all that matters here. From point A when I enrolled to Z—the first advisor just disappear, never heard from him after I started, then the other. One advisor never updated any documentation for me to the point where I almost had to pay out of pocket while I had financial aid. This establishment legit Takes your money and the financial “staff” encouraged me to get loans i did not need. In the business department (which I can only speak from my own experience) but judging by every other review perhaps all departments. There was never a book to purchase but yet they swallowed up almost all my funds. Very non professional “staff”. It’s crazy, how financial aid and the program chair speak to students like you can hear and feel how money hungry and how they don’t care at all. From experience, it’s cringing how their program chair and manager in the business department- dr Wampler only cares for the little bit of power she feels, she has. This literally showed how bitter she was as if our financial aid isn’t their earnings? Nothing made sense at all with their systems overall. So, THANK GOD actually…I am no longer at this establishment; I am at a legitimate university that is also online but that Care! Huge difference. Now that I’m not at AIU, I see where my money goes each term at my new university. Way less than AIU took and way better quality of education. Please save your time, energy and money. This is just a job for them and I learned the hard way. The Atlanta location is trash so online would be preferred but your on your own. The teachers don’t even stay after a while. You’re all better than this place, trust.

I never studied online before and due to COVID19, I had to opt for an online MBA since I didn’t want to waste the downtime. Luckily I joined American Intercontinental University through the selection process by Talentedge. My experience has been very good indeed. Online learning is different from on-campus learning and I do miss the classroom setting but AIU faculty does its best to create a nice and easy online learning environment. I think where AIU shines is the self-paced platform which allows me to pace myself in my own way. Besides this, I feel that Talentedge offers a low tuition fee and still brings highly experienced professors from everywhere in the world to teach which I have not seen before. All in all, I feel happy to choose an MBA in Human Resource Management.

They only hire online instructors who have little to no experience, and then wonder why their turnover rate is so high. They're always "hiring" new online faculty once every 2 - 3 months. For instance, I, literally, did the redesign for English 101 for the City Colleges of Chicago, and I train future teachers, and this school actually told me that I was not "qualified" to teach for them. What a joke.

Great Experience! I have attended AIU since January 2016, and I have not had a problem with the university or the staff. I think it is a great university. I have learned a lot in such a short period. This university host job fairs and student functions year around. I think it is great how the university uses those opportunities to bring the staff and students together to bond. You can earn a Master’s Degree in as little as 12 months, or like me, as little as 24 months by taking only one course at a time. I believe like anything else in life; this experience is what you make it. I decided the day I walked through those doors at the university that this journey would be about me succeeding and I am destined to win. I'm keeping my eye on the prize........graduation.

RED FLAG! RED FLAG! RE FLAG! It is very unfortunate that I was not aware of AIU scam practices before giving so much time, effort and finances toward my degree that I so desperately need. We are taught that an education is how we reach success not knowing that there are organizations praying on that very need. I received my AABA from AIU without issue so signing up for my Bachelors seemed to be a no brainier. I went through every agonizing call and filled out all paperwork. My GPA was at 3.0/3.1 with 4/5 classes left before I received a shocking call that claimed I was no longer funded and owed AIU almost $3000 before I could continue my degree. This was heartbreaking. Today I spoke with a Ms. Mohara from Corporate who was nothing more than a collector. I was under the impressions she was calling to correct the issue regarding the billing. She herself stated that ALL financial paperwork is done for the degree beginning to end and the stipend is what I received due to overage after everything has been paid for the complete degree. My question to her and everyone that called me has been "If all was taken care of the the complete degree how is it that I now OWE anything." She then stated that it's my fault because I "withdrew so they had to send the money from the lender back. That leaves me responsible for the balance." I received a stipend and was due another payment. There was no balance. After reading the reviews & complaints it is obvious to me that this is a Scam. One of the AIU collectors.... Daniel, told me to "get the money from your boyfriend". Of which was EXTREMELY inappropriate. This has been a very upsetting turn of events for me as I have applied for positions noting that I am close to receiving my degree. Ms. Mohara could only say to me that "It doesn't matter, I still owe.... Now she says $2002. When I asked if our call was being recorded for future reference she stated... "No! And it won't be." She even had the nerve to chastise me for cursing at Daniel... the rude collector that told me to get money from my boyfriend. I am at a loss, countless hours of studying, homework, stress and now loan repayments due and I was not given a chance to complete my degree in order to reach my full potential that would allow me to repay the loans. I am beyond disappointed and warn any all of AIU. Today I see 1 positive review and 7 negatives on the BBB Website. Please let our experiences be a lesson learned for you as we continue our disputes and goal of justice. Being a single mother, working full time and going to school should not be taken lightly and should not be preyed upon. I would also like to add that I am a Veteran, paper work was turned in to AIU but was never used to assist. Customer service ends after you begin. Help ends immediately after they say "I'm here to help." Fair warning I would not be surprised to find that the positive reviews listed here are from AIU employees. If the experience was so great why not expound? why just a sentence? A 20.7% graduation rate is a RED FLAG! I really hope my review helps save someone else this misfortune.

AIU has been a wonderful experience and I am so glad and inspired by the faculty members and instructors for being there. Believing in your self and applying for your success is all your own. I've only got 16 credits so far from winning the rest. Yet for them giving Me inspiration and courage to continue with the want to is awesome!

This school isn't for the weak minded. Yes, every school has its downfalls but you learn so much in a short amount of time due to it quarter based programs. I enrolled in July of 2012 and graduated with a BA in Dec 2015. This was the cheapest school for media production that the program isn't just theoretical. You touch gear, you run sets, you write speeches, production books, scripts and get rough critiques on everything. It's hard to take those hits but you develop the type of skin you need to survive in the real world. This school is what you make of it and that will truly decide your experience.

AIU Atlanta is the best university I have attended! The faculty and staff are amazing! They help us every step of the way. We are a family at this university. This is the best decision I ever made. I just finished my AA IN BUSINESS …

This institution engages in abusive predatory marketing. Do not under any circumstances request program information. I made a permanent decision not to enroll in late 2015 once I received information about their program costs. I am not a …

I'm never going back to this school. They say they are there for you and help you. But all in all their just there for the money to get paid and make it so hard for people to even graduate. I thought they were the best school recommended …

I have been taking online classes this year and so for its been great. I have a A average grade. The staff is always helping and the instructor is just a good teacher. I couldn't ask for no better. Go AIU

Hello, my name is shreya Rajput My study program at AIU is MBA in Healthcare Management . I am very happy with my program. I am working as CRA (Clinical Research Associate) for a multinational company and this program helps me understand …

I am graduating for a second time with 2 degrees and made honors both times. Presidents list 7 times and deans list once in one year. Very helpful student advisors and excellent Tudor’s. May return next year for the masters project.

How sad to read about the college I attended in the late 80s. WHAT are you people doing? All of the great teachers and professors, gone. The building it was originally in? Where is it? …

Will not stop calling my number after I've blocked them and repeatedly called me over the weekend despite my efforts to tell them I'm no longer interested in enrolling. Called me every single hour until I finally picked up again and told them again that I wasn't interested, only to receive another call the next day. Very frustrating.

It's sad to see this school hasn't improved! They are definitely in it for the money!! I only went to this school for 1 year and it took me 12 years to pay back thousands in student loans. Very disappointing experience.

The college when it was the American College For the Applied Arts during the ‘80’s. The instructors were well versed in their perspective fields.
