Our program does not require every student
to study the same subjects and use the same books and
other learning materials as every other student. Instead
our online Master's programs are designed just for you.
They are individually designed to meet your needs and
help you to reach your professional and personal goals.
If you want much more than normal results from your
efforts, AIU Master programs are what you are looking
for. View
Masters PROGRAMS OFFERED »
The Master's program is offered for various disciplines
and prepares students for advanced work in their field.
Studies leading to the Master's degree are designed
to give the candidate thorough and comprehensive knowledge
of his or her professional field, as well as training
in data interpretation and analytical skills.
One of the key goals for the Master's program at AIU
is to give students the tools and confidence to carry
out self-education; these skills are indispensable as
they allow students to adapt to their ever changing
environment or situation without depending necessarily
on a higher education institution. The criteria for
granting the degree shall be the candidate's comprehension
of the subject matter and a demonstrated ability to
perform independent research.
In addition, the candidate must have the ability to
express thoughts clearly, both verbally and in written
form. The Master's program aims to develop an understanding
of your field beyond the undergraduate degree, with
emphasis on the conduct of original research, the application
of theory into practice through real life models, and
the effective communication of information through the
appropriate channels. APPLY

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR
PROGRAM
The Master's Degree Program at AIU is a custom-tailored
suit of educational clothing. AIU has developed a protocol
to Quantify and Qualify an individual's professional
background, as well as, their academic credentials,
and grant Academic Credit to qualified students commensurate
with their true level of knowledge. After initial review
and evaluation, the Student's Academic Status is defined.
This definition establishes the approximate number of
Academic Credit Hours the University will grant the
Student toward the Student's designated Degree Program.
Development of course and curricula is a collaborative
activity, between the Student and the Academic Advisor.
Each Student's Curricula is unique, and developed as
a result of the mutual efforts of the Student, the Academic
Staff and the Academic Advisor. To fulfill the requirements
of the Degree Program as established by the Academic
Committee, the Student performs research, (using the
Internet or other Approved Resources), to investigate
and select courses from at least 2, AIU Approved colleges
or universities, offering the same discipline at the
Master level, as the Student's designated Degree Program.
The Student will select courses based upon the Student's
need to acquire the knowledge and master the objectives
defined, in the course descriptions and objectives,
as itemized in the Course Catalogs of such Approved
Institutions. The Student will be the initial arbiter
of the courses selected. The culmination of the course
selection process is the class session with the Academic
Advisor. During this class, the Student's Courses and
Curricula will be established, and approved.
Master's Programs are available in many disciplines,
and demonstrate the Student's ability to perform advanced
work in the selected field of study. The capstone of
the Program is the Master's Thesis, an original work
which showcases the Candidate's mastery of the selected
discipline, produces significant insights and findings
based on original thought and research, and contributes
to the advancement of thought and knowledge on a universal
scale. Studies leading to the Masters degree are designed
to give the candidate thorough and comprehensive knowledge
of his or her professional field, as well as training
in research methods. The criteria for granting the degree
shall be the candidate's comprehension of the subject
matter and a demonstrated ability to perform independent
research. In addition, the candidate must have the ability
to express thoughts clearly, both verbally and in written
form.
