Online Learner Profiles: Alex C.

Profiles of Real Online Learners

Guide to Online Education > Online Education In-Depth > Meet Real Online Students > Alex C., Associate of Arts in Business Administration

As he looked at schools locally, Alex ran into the same issues that had forced him to quit before.

"I don't like the idea of racing out of work to try to beat traffic to try to be on time to a class that only lasts an hour."

But he hit on a solution with distance learning: "I knew it was for me."

With distance learning, he says, "All I have to do is sit down at my home computer, log in, and click on my classroom. It's so much easier."

Of course, convenience is not the only consideration when choosing a school. "I wanted to be flexible with work, school, and family, but at the same time I wanted a school that had a good name."

Fortunately for him, he had a great resource right in front of him at work: his coworkers at eLearners.com.

As he researched various online programs, he asked his coworkers for feedback. He liked what he heard about AIU Online. It is the virtual campus of American InterContinental University and it is regionally accredited.

From his first contact with AIU Online, Alex was impressed with the level of attention he received.

"I was assigned an advisor from the day they received my application and to this day, the advisor contacts me every week to offer me assistance."

Alex believes that the faculty and staff want the students to feel comfortable and confident in their online learning experience. One way AIU Online does that is by offering students in the Associates programs flexible scheduling.

Students can opt to take either one or two classes for each of the five-week sessions.
