About This School
American InterContinental University System is a private for-profit institution located in Chandler, Arizona with approximately 7,111 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,172 per year. The graduation rate is 9%, and the typical graduate earns $45,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Designed primarily for working adults seeking flexible, online degree options in business and technology fields, this school may appeal to students who need a self-directed schedule — but the data here raises serious red flags that any family should weigh carefully before committing. The 9% graduation rate is one of the lowest you'll encounter anywhere, meaning the overwhelming majority of students who enroll never finish their degree, which is a warning sign about institutional support, student outcomes, and fit. The freshman retention rate of just 36% reinforces that picture — most students leave after their first year, which suggests something isn't working for them. At a median debt of $31,000 at graduation and median earnings of only $45,200 a decade later, the financial return is thin, especially when comparable credentials from community colleges or state schools often come with far less debt and stronger employer recognition. If you're looking at this school because of flexibility or cost, I'd strongly encourage you to first explore Western Governors University or your state's online public university system, which typically offer similar convenience with meaningfully better completion rates and return on investment.
