Career Services

The AIU Career Services Department provides students and alumni individualized career guidance and career research assistance. While AIU makes no guarantee relative to securing employment, career search assistance is available once the students are active in their program as well as throughout the student life cycle and graduate career.

Agencies and institutions that accept our students for internship opportunities and potential employment may conduct a criminal and/or personal background check. Students with criminal records that include felonies or misdemeanors (including those that are drug-related) or personal background issues such as bankruptcy might not be accepted by these agencies for internship or employment. Some agencies and employers may require candidates to submit to a drug test. Positions in some fields may require additional education, licensure and/or certification for employment. Employment and internship decisions are outside the control of AIU.

AIU does not guarantee employment or salary.

Records from a student’s file are not shared with employers. Only employers requesting information regarding a student’s completion or dates of attendance can receive verification from the University Registrar Department.

The Career Services Department measures the institution’s ability to prepare students for the workforce by tracking individual student data and reviewing aggregated data programmatically. AIU also tracks and reports placement data externally to the regulators who require it, including only the state of New York at this time.  The employment rates have been included below for your conviencene. To find information regarding disclosures on graduation rates go to www.aiuniv.edu

Rate Calculation

Number of employed graduates/completers as defined below, divided by the number of eligible graduates/completers (total graduates minus the excluded graduates/completers noted below).
The Special New York Attorney General Employment Rate calculation excludes graduates/completers in the following categories: (1) pregnant or has a medical condition or disability that results in the completer’s inability to work or the completer has a parent, child or spouse who has a medical condition that requires the care of the graduate; (2) engaged in full-time active military duty; (3) enrolled in an additional program of post-secondary education; (4) deceased; (5) not eligible for placement in the United States because of visa restrictions; (6) graduate of a stand-alone English as a Second Language program; (7) spouse or dependent of military personnel who have moved due to military transfer orders; or (8) not seeking employment or not seeking new employment but remaining in a position held before graduation and not seeking to obtain promotion or move up over time.
In calculating the Special New York Attorney General Employment Rate, American InterContinental University counts graduates/completers as "employed" if they obtained either a full-time position or a part-time position of at least 20 hours per week, and have completed a minimum of 18 days worked, and:
• their position was included on the list of job titles American InterContinental University publishes for which the program prepares them;
• their position requires the use of skills learned in their program as a predominant component of the job; or
• they continued their employment in the same position they held prior to most recently enrolling in the program, if they attest in writing that the training they received enabled them to maintain or advance in their position.
