AIU Regains Accreditation Status
Dec 20th, 2007
Students taking courses from AIU Online have been sweating since AIU was put on probationary status by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS). This week, SACS announced that AIU will be returned to good standing. A recent press release shares details from the college:
"We are gratified that the effort and hard work on the part of our leadership, our faculty, and our staff have been acknowledged by our accreditor," said Dr. George Miller, chief executive officer of American InterContinental University. "We believe that the process over the past two years has been a productive experience for the University and for our students, and today we are a much stronger institution. We look forward to continuing to provide our students with a quality education that meets or exceeds the high standards set by SACS. I am particularly gratified that throughout this process the quality of AIU's academic programs was never in question."
Prior to the announcement, many AIU Online graduates wondered that the school's potential lack of accreditation could impact their resumes and employment prospects. Fortunately, that's not a problem they will need to face in the near future.
