What are the graduation rates for students at American InterContinental University-Houston?

Reported 2024-25 graduation figures for AIU-Houston are low: the published overall, four-year, and six-year measures are each 5%. The reported student-retention rate is 25%. These figures warrant attention, but they are not predictions of an individual student's likelihood of graduating.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow defined entering cohorts - often first-time, full-time students - rather than every adult learner or transfer student. That distinction is particularly important at a campus reporting only three first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 25 transfer-in students. Small cohorts can also make rates change sharply from one reporting year to another. Applicants should request completion and retention results for their specific program, credential level, entry type, and delivery format, along with the cohort size and time period behind each result.

What is the earning potential for graduates at American InterContinental University-Houston?

College Scorecard figures dated October 2026 report earnings by field approximately one year after graduation for students associated with AIU-Houston. They are field-level observations, not starting-salary offers or a promise about what a new enrollee will earn.

  • Computer and information sciences, general: $45,331
  • Business administration, management, and operations: $41,068
  • Accounting and related services: $38,436
  • Health and medical administrative services: $35,095
  • Criminal justice and corrections: $28,733

The figures do not establish what every graduate in a field earned, whether respondents worked full time, or how pay differs by location and prior experience. They also should not be read as a comparison between otherwise identical programs: occupations, credential levels, and student backgrounds may differ. A useful financial comparison pairs an applicable earnings measure with the program's total price, likely borrowing, and completion outcomes.
