American InterContinental University System

What is the cost of studying for a year at American InterContinental University System?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $11,737, with $660 in required fees, for a combined $12,397 before books and living expenses. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $419 per credit hour; a part-time student's actual bill depends on the credits taken and applicable fees.

• Full-time graduate tuition: $11,633 for the academic year in the reported figures.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $566 per credit hour.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $400.
• Reported room-and-board estimate: $9,331; this is a living-cost estimate, not a charge for university-operated housing.

A complete cost of attendance may also include transportation, personal expenses, and other program-specific costs. Students should not add figures from different reporting years or assume that an estimated living allowance appears on a university bill.

Financial aid changes the comparison. In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, 75% of students received financial aid and 70% had student loans. The reported average grant award to undergraduates was $6,820. Eligible students may use grants, loans, and qualifying military or veterans' education benefits; aid eligibility and amounts depend on the student and program. The reported average net price for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less was $15,080. Net price includes estimated attendance costs after grant aid, so it can exceed tuition alone. A personalized aid offer and program-specific course plan are better guides to an individual student's likely out-of-pocket cost and borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at American InterContinental University System?

Students interested in working while enrolled should distinguish a regular job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based federal aid program that provides wages for eligible employment rather than a reduction automatically applied to tuition. Availability of a Work-Study award or position for an individual AIU System student should be confirmed with financial aid before making a budget around it.

The institution reports that an internship is not required of all students. An internship, ordinary part-time employment, and a Work-Study position can have different eligibility rules and may contribute differently to a degree. Students seeking career support should ask what access their program provides to career advising, résumé review, interview preparation, internship guidance, and job-search resources. Access to a service is not the same as a verified job offer or employment outcome.
