American International College (AIC), as its name suggests, prides itself on its truly multicultural environment and student body. Located in Springfield, Massachusetts, American International College was initially established, nearly 150 years ago, as a school for those migrating from other countries. To this day, American International welcomes students from over 60 countries around the world. Student life is also a blending of cultures, with numerous cultural and ethnic club offerings and Multicultural Affairs and International Students centers. Campus ministry is also a blending of numerous religions, as represented by the eclectic student body. Academics at AIC are also diverse, with bachelor’s degrees awarded in such fields as Accounting, American Studies, English, International Business, New Media, Physical Therapy and Pre-Medicine and graduate programs offered in Occupational Therapy, Public Administration and Forensic Psychology, among others. All students may access the multiple student services on the AIC campus; these include a Counseling Center, a Health Center, a Center for Academic Success and a Financial Aid office where students may apply for scholarships and other aid sources. Admission is based on such factors as academic performance, SAT scores and a recommendation letter.
