Student Life
American International College has many resources in place to help students take care of themselves as it pertains to academics, health, mental wellness, and building relationships with peers. Dexter Health Services allows students to meet with on-campus healthcare professionals for basic needs at no charge. The Dexter Counseling Center is also free and includes wellness services like group counseling, individual counseling, and specialized workshops related to mental health. The Athletics and Fitness department helps students take care of their bodies and make friends through intramural sports, group exercise classes, and access to the Falconer Fitness Center.
Online Programs
The Master’s of Business Administration at AIC is a flexible hybrid degree with accreditation through the IACBE. Students complete their MBA in about two years by taking one course at a time, one night a week, for seven weeks. This set-up helps participants to focus their learning on one area and build team-based relationships with their peers. While the schedule is relaxed, the content of this degree covers important topics such as Quantitative Analysis for Decision Making, Managerial Economics, Organizational Behavior, and Information Systems for Business Strategy. The program culminates with an MBA capstone project where students create a fully functional business plan to start their own business.
