Like every other college in your growing pile of brochures, we want you to know who we are.  But at AIC we think it is much more important to understand who you are - and what you want.  Do you want personal attention and incredible support from your professors? Do you want a school where creativity and flexibility rule - where how things could be is just as important as how things are? Do you want the kind of training that stresses internships and experience, makes employers take notice and makes any future possible? Do you want a college that has renowned programs in arts and sciences, business, criminal justice, education, health care and more? Do you want to live with, learn with (and learn from) students representing every corner of the country and every ethnic, cultural and economic slice of the American pie - not to mention 28 countries? Do you want a comfortable campus in a not-too-big, not-too-small city? Then you are in luck! 

American International College is an accredited, four-year, coeducational, urban college in Springfield, Massachusetts; founded in 1885.  AIC is top-quality, student-centered education, guided by experienced faculty (one for every 15 students) who are respected in their fields - and who are totally devoted, 24/7 to teaching.  Our faculty includes a former executive producer of NBC Nightly News and a former prosecuting attorney for Hampden (Mass.) County.  Each of the College's accounting department faculty members is a certified public accountant.  Faculty from our nursing, occupational therapy and physical therapy departments continue as practitioners.  Our education department faculty includes several who have been school superintendents, principals and classroom teachers.  Our students benefit by learning from teachers who care about the success of each student and who enrich the quality of their teaching by bringing their professional experiences to the classroom. 

Internships 

American International College students are often at an advantage in their job search because of the experiences they have had in College-Sponsored internships. Experiential learning is valued at AIC. While many majors require some off-campus learning experience, all majors offer some type of an internship.  Students have interned at such places as Disney World, Pitney Bowes, ESPN, Channel 22 (NBC affiliate), Yellowstone National Park, Hampden County District Attorney's Office, Morgan Stanley, Baystate Medical Center and hundreds of others.  

The AIC Campus 

The AIC campus combines the excitement and access of an urban campus with the privacy and beauty typically associated with a suburban campus. Our 26 buildings are situated on 60 acres. Among our most notable facilities is the 36,000-sq. ft. Health Science Complex, which includes state-of-the-art classrooms, a beautiful amphitheatre and several labs (including the only anatomical lab in Massachusetts, other than those at medical schools) the Karen Sprague Cultural Arts Center and the Esther B. Griswold Theatre for the Performing Arts; the James J. Shea, Jr. Memorial Library; and the Butova and Metcalf Gymnasiums.  There are six residence halls, each wired for Internet, cable television and telephone access. 

Affordable Excellence 

AIC offers a quality education at an affordable price.  A generous financial aid program allows us to offer over 80% of our student's financial aid with the average total package being around $14,000. Our institutional financial aid includes need-based grants, academic and merit scholarship and athletic scholarships in some sports.

Huntington University is a comprehensive Christian university of the liberal arts, offering graduate and undergraduate programs in more than 70 academic concentrations. Founded in 1897 by the United Brethren in Christ denomination, HU has grown to over 1000 from around the world educating men and women to "impact their world for Christ" through scholarship and service. The school recently established several new programs, including undergraduate degrees in nursing, digital media arts, economics and finance, political studies, recreation and sports ministry, social work, and worship leadership. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks Huntington among the top baccalaureate colleges in the Midwest. Since 2008, Huntington has been named a "best values college" by U.S. News. Since 2009, Forbes.com has listed Huntington as one of the Best Colleges in America.  Princeton Review selected Huntington as a "Best in the Midwest" institution again in 2011.

With low student-faculty ratio, students gain individualized instruction from outstanding faculty. Several students and faculty collaborate together in professional research. Huntington offers a number of study-abroad opportunities through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and houses the Huntington University Enterprise Resource Center (ERC), a "connector" between the university and area businesses, not-for-profit organizations, social service agencies, churches and local governments. The ERC provides meaningful "real-world" experiences for Huntington University students, while helping area entities to grow and prosper. Among its notable learning facilities is Huntington University's largest building, a 90,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Science Hall that houses the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences.

The year was 1968, and many females who were pursuing professional endeavors were doing so either as teachers, nurses, or secretaries. However, one woman took a different path to success, as an entrepreneur, and has since made a difference in thousands of people's lives - men and women, alike.

When Jean Baron opened the Long Island Business Institute in Commack, New York, there were seven students, eleven typewriters, and she was the teacher.

Thirty-five years later, Mrs. Baron still is at the helm of the school she founded, having brought it to collegiate status eight years ago. That move has brought LIBI to the point of two campuses (Commack and Flushing), with a total staff of just under 100 and combined student enrollment of 750 pursuing Associate Degree, Diploma and Certificate Programs. Yet, with this growth, LIBI's quaintness, intimacy and the one-on-one relationships between students and faculty that have been carefully molded and have been the school's trademark since Day One remain to this very day, and the rapport is now stronger than ever.

Many of the options that LIBI gives its students are educational opportunities in fields that are in high demand, including Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Billing and Coding, Business Management, Computer Applications, Court Reporting, Legal Secretarial, Medical Secretarial, Medical Transcription, Notary Public, Office Technology, and Title Closing.  Each program has its own specific nuances that bring its individual desirability to the table.

For instance, take the Court Reporting Program. LIBI is one of only three schools in the state of New York, one of only six in the geographic region from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania and one of only 69 schools in the United States and Canada that are approved by the National Court Reporters Association. This makes the students who complete this program part of the low supply/high demand equation, leading to unlimited job opportunities and high salaries.  Come to our college and enroll in any of our two year Associate Degree Programs, which include Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Business Management and Office Technology or the two semester Diploma Programs in Legal and Medical Secretarial, Medical Transcription, and a one semester Computer Applications Certificate Program.

And as diversified as the curriculum offerings are, the same can be said for the student population. From recent high school graduates and those who have completed college and are still unsure of what they want to do, to people who have been down-sized, to single mothers who now have to support themselves, and parents who want to alleviate the empty-nest syndrome, each student is treated as an individual, with all receiving the same care, compassion and concern.

Mount Mercy students have participated in a wide variety of scientific research internships and projects with University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Mercy Medical Center, Weland Clinical Laboratories, Bluestem Solid Waste Agency, Penford Products, The Nature Conservancy, and East Central Iowa Council of Governments.

If it's Bible you want, then you want Multnomah!

Multnomah University equips you to influence the culture near you and around the globe with the truths of God's Word. No other university offers the depth and breadth of biblical instruction you'll find at Multnomah!

Whether your idea of ministry is helping broken people heal emotionally, leading a local church, guiding young children in a public school classroom, teaching English to recent immigrants or something else entirely, Multnomah can prepare you for a rewarding ministry - no matter what career you choose. Multnomah combines a strong Bible education with comprehensive general education courses that prepare you to think for yourself and answer big questions. 

"If it's Bible you want, then you want Multnomah!" speaks to the University's unique approach. Every student majors in Bible. In addition, you'll select a second major or a minor, such as elementary education, psychology, music ministry, Greek, Hebrew, English, history, pastoral ministry, intercultural studies (including a TESOL track) or youth ministry.

Multnomah professors are known for their Christian commitment, scholarly competence, and desire for mentoring connections. They are ready to engage with you both in and out of the classroom.

Multnomah is a fully-accredited, nondenominational evangelical institution. It partners with the Church to promote social justice, spiritual renewal and Christian education across denominational lines and diverse traditions.

Founded in 1782, Washington College is the 10th oldest college in America. George Washington, in whose honor the College was named, served as a Trustee from 1784 until 1789 and was awarded the College's first honorary degree. From its inception, Washington College has maintained an unwavering commitment to the liberal arts and sciences. Through diverse curricular offerings, excellent teaching, and engaged learning we develop in our students the habits of analytic thought, aesthetic insight, imagination, ethical sensitivity, and clarity of expression. We choose to maintain an enrollment of approximately 1,250 students and a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Two-thirds of all WC classes have twenty or fewer students making it easy for students and their professors to engage in the exchange of information and ideas. Our graduates leave us prepared for admission to graduate and professional schools, able to pursue a wide variety of career options, and ready for lives of responsible citizenship and personal fulfillment.
