American InterContinental University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American InterContinental University, commonly called AIU, is an international for-profit university founded in 1977, which is owned by Career Education Corporation (stock symbol CECO). AIU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's degrees.
American InterContinental University first received school accreditation in 1987 when it became an accredited member of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.[1]Its accreditation is currently on probation.[2] During SACS' December 2006 meeting, they determined that AIU's probationary status should continue an additional year, through 2007, while recognizing the University's significant progress in areas of initial concern.
