In 1970, American InterContinental University (AIU) was founded in Europe on the premise that universities should transcend the bounds of the traditional, theory-based approach to education. AIU strives to provide students with a curriculum that can help them prepare to pursue their professional interests in today's globalized, cutting-edge industries.

For 50 years, AIU has offered specialized, flexible degree programs to students around the globe. The University is committed to developing curricula designed to provide students with career preparation in business, criminal justice, education, information technology, design, and healthcare management.

AIU's success is reflected in its presence throughout the international business community, alumni achievements, and its faculty's commitment. Today, AIU operates campuses in Atlanta and Houston as well as Online, which launched in 2001.

California Southern University, which was founded in 1978, is an entirely different type of university designed with the learner in mind.
