American InterContinental University-Houston (AIU Houston) Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

AIU's Prior Learning Assessment program, branded AIU Accelerate, lets you get credit for learning gained outside a classroom, which can meaningfully shorten your time to degree. Compile documentation of job training, military schools, or certifications before applying so admissions can evaluate it during intake, not after you've already paid for redundant courses.

AIU's intellipath platform customizes course content based on what you already know, and historically fewer than a third of courses use it at any given time. If self-paced, adaptive coursework is why you're choosing AIU over a traditional program, confirm intellipath availability in your specific major before enrolling.

AIU's parent company (formerly Career Education Corporation, now Perdoceo) has faced past investigation by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education and the SEC. This doesn't disqualify the school, but going in aware of that history helps you ask sharper questions about outcomes data and job placement before committing.

AIU runs shorter, accelerated terms rather than traditional 15-week semesters, which suits working adults juggling a job but requires faster weekly pacing. If you're balancing full-time work, ask for the specific term calendar and weekly course-hour expectations before your first term starts.
