Almost half come from Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East. Like UW-Stout, many of the Institute s courses are vocationally oriented and targeted toward the world of work. The campus is made up of seven buildings that house small lecture rooms, design studios, photography labs, video production facilities, a computer center and library. All students enroll in three courses at AIU and receive four transfer credits from UW-Stout. Students can take a fourth course for an added fee but three is the recommended load.
Students can also apply for an internship as a substitute for one of their courses.
AIU classes typically meet four times per week for lectures or seminar presentations. Students will find the methods of instruction are fairly similar to what they experience at UW-Stout. Most students prepare meals in their apartments. Supermarkets, restaurants and laundry facilities are located nearby. Students studying for a regular and summer term arrange housing directly with AIU and must pay for the housing before arriving in London.
