About This School
American InterContinental University-Atlanta is a private for-profit institution located in Atlanta, Georgia with approximately 734 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,482 per year. The graduation rate is 21%, and the typical graduate earns $45,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school might appeal to working adults or career-changers looking for a flexible, career-focused business or IT degree in an urban setting, but the data here raises serious red flags that any family should weigh carefully before committing. The freshman retention rate of just 14% is one of the lowest you'll find anywhere — meaning the vast majority of students who start here don't even make it to their second year, which is a strong signal that something isn't working, whether that's academic support, student experience, or fit. The 21% graduation rate tells a similar story, and with a median debt of $31,000 at graduation and median earnings of $45,200 a decade after enrollment, the financial return is modest at best for the cost and risk involved. There are better-value paths to the same career outcomes — community colleges, regional state schools, and even other online programs — that offer stronger support structures and comparable or better earnings without the same odds stacked against you. If flexibility and location are your primary needs, I'd strongly encourage looking at Georgia State University or a Georgia Technical College System school before making a final decision here.
