I was wondering if there's any new information regarding AIU's "probationary" status with SACS. Any news? Thanks!
According to their website the next review isn't until December 2007. http://www.sacscoc.org/disclosure/dec2006/American%20InterContinental%20U.pdf
My educated guess is that the the fall visit has already occurred since we are into October. When my institution received a focus visit from HLC, there was a gap of about two months before the HLC issued their final recommendations for our school. Shawn
I always wondered how they were getting away with the one year online part time MBA program. How much one can learn in one year part time? I also have noticed that the known Canadian degree mill "Vancouver University" mentions on its website that one graduate got admission into the M.Ed program at AIU. http://www.worldwideuniversity.edu/alumni.php If one can get admission with a Vancouver University degree that pretty much means that I can print my own degree and get offer admission as well. Still accredited but borderline mill I would say.
It depends? Which AIU awarded the degree? Was it http://www.aiu.edu (Atlantic International University -- a diploma mill) or http://www.aiuonline.edu (American InterContinental University -- an accredited school) that awarded the M.Ed degree?
The M.Ed in Instructional Technology is only offered by American InterContinental University. In addition, the site makes references to few Australian government based schools that accepted the degree. It is not a secret that many Australian and UK schools accept students into master's degrees with no bachelor's degrees based on their experience. However, this is not the case for American schools so that is why I'm surprised of this. Graduate school is a huge business for some schools that are not going to let the insignificant barrier of having an accredited bachelor's degree to stop them from cashing from interested students.
