their service, provides scheduling flexibility and helps support their
unique needs,” said Dr. George Miller, President of AIU. “Being named a

especially our military and veteran students.”

comprehensive research tool to assist service members, education
services officers and transition officers in exploring postsecondary
education choices.

serve those who serve our country, as well as their families, including:
- Anytime, Anywhere Flexibility: AIU Online offers 24/7 access to
course materials, discussions, lectures, the online library and other
resources to provide a program that works with military students’
schedules no matter where they call home, even if they’re deployed
overseas.

students to put their education on hold for the length of their
deployment and return when it ends.
- Transfer Credit: Military students and veterans can receive
credit for eligible experience and training through the ACE (American
Council on Education) credit evaluation system and AIU’s own Prior
Learning Assessment (PLA) program. AIU also evaluates each student’s
prior college credit, CLEP and DANTES exam scores, and any
certifications they may already hold to determine which program
criteria may have already been met.

offers reduced tuition rates for service members and veterans and also
awards grants equal to up to 10 percent of the cost of tuition for
