Atlantic International University

Atlantic International University exists as an institution of experiential learning and non-traditional education at a distance. There are no classrooms and attendance is not required. What makes us unique is the combination of a student “self-inst nique is the combination of a student “self-instruction” approach (with guidance), the collaborative development of a curriculum that is unique to each student, and the flexibility of time and place of study. This provides what we consider to be, the ideal learning environment. It is created with the purpose of satisfying individual needs and providing personal development for each student. Our programs encourage students to demonstrate competency through independent learning as well as reading and research in their field of study. AIU offers educational opportunities in the United States to students from around the world in an effort to propel them to discovering their best selves by using their own potential to manage their personal, global and cultural development. This is actualized through the evaluation of their credentials towards a Bachelor’s, a Master’s or a Doctorate degree, and this also implies capability for sustainable results-based performance. The foundational axis of such a philosophy rests on self-actualized knowledge and information, which is embedded into a distance learning system based on ANDRAGOGY and OMNIOLOGY. The ultimate goal of this paradigm is to empower learners to take advantage of the enormous array of resources from the world’s environment, in an effort to eliminate the current continuum of poverty and limitations. To this end, students are able to convert their past into a self-propelled growth module that is constantly on the move. This module veers from the accredited, traditional systems that foster limitations and an old way of teaching. Everything takes place in a setting that fosters diversity, with more than 10 million full texts and approximately 47 million bibliographic references in more than 400 languages. Advisors and consultants with doctorate degrees and specializations in Human Development, monitor our learning processes. Additionally, a worldwide web of colleagues and associations in different academic areas work together so that they can reach the satisfaction and the progress of humanity with peace and harmony. Science has yet to discover the precise mechanism by which the individual learns. However, it is known that the act of learning is endogenous (from within), rather than exogenous. This fact is the reason that serves as the basis for “distance learning” in general, and for all degree programs offered by the University. Balance is the key to many things ranging from health to the environment. To be part of your life, Education must fit within that balance and AIU makes it possible by taking into account the most important things that affect your education. Our mission is to be a higher learning institution concerned about generating cultural development alternatives in order to lead to a more efficient administration of the world village and its environment. We aim to do this by exerting human and community rights through diversity with the ultimate goal of the evolution of the world. Our vision is to see to the empowerment of our students towards the convergence of the world through a sustainable educational design based on Andragogy and Omniology.
