Overview
He founders of International American University (IAU) observed the growth of private colleges and universities in the 90s and 2000s. Being working students themselves, they realized that private degree-granting institutions played a very important role in educating the mature, working student, also known as the “professional student.” With the establishment of so many distance-learning schools since the 1990s, what would make IAU unique? It was a question that the founders asked themselves and they eventually found an answer. The idea was to create a school that encourages an inclusive community, offers the same academic rigor as a larger school, hires and retains experienced instructors, offers flexible class offerings, and provides quality student services. To align the institution with the Christian values and principles of its founders, the challenge was to keep costs reasonably affordable to make education available to all.
Rather than focus on the domestic American market with so much competition, the founders saw its potential market with international students who did not have access to a flexible, quality, affordable American education. IAU’s international niche market was two-fold – the F-1 visa international student and the foreign international student.

Career & Alumni Service
International American University continues to have a growing number of graduates in our offered business programs, both in the undergraduate and graduate level. Apart from this, our students come from various parts of the world bringing with them their innovative minds and expansive amount of skills and experiences. To add, IAU students are the future leaders, given that a majority are the young millennials across all programs. Our mandatory internship component has challenged our IAU students to seek employment with businesses, small and large, that have undeniably sharpened them into talented professionals.
The Office of Career & Alumni Services strives to connect great employers with our highly qualified students and alumni who want to help your organization achieve great success. These impressive candidates have had the benefit of working with leading faculty and professional mentors in areas such as Accounting, Business, Economics, Finance, Healthcare Administration, Information Technology, Management and Marketing.
Our international students can be legally employed in the U.S. while completing their studies (on CPT – Curricular Practical Training) or upon graduating (Post-Completion OPT – Optional Practical Training).
Accomodation
Housing
The University does not have dormitory facilities under its control. Housing is the responsibility of the student. There are many apartments for rent within a 1 to 10 mile radius. Many are within walking distance. Single bedroom apartments may cost $900 to $2,100 per month or more. Many families have rooms for rent from $600 to $800 per month.
For F-1 international students who wish to find housing near IAU, International Student Services (ISS) can assist you with locating a local American homestay or assist you in finding an appropriate place to live ([email protected]).
ISS also provides information about the local neighborhoods, including popular restaurants, shopping areas, parks and recreation, and public transportation.
Homestay
A homestay is a unique opportunity for international students to live with a local American host family. In addition to providing an affordable private room with an option of two meals per day or access to the kitchen, the program gives students a chance to experience American culture from a first-hand perspective and build cross-cultural friendships. To learn more, please see SRS homestay flyer.
What can I expect from my Host?
You can expect your homestay host to be kind, show care for you, interact with you, provide guidance, and help you improve your conversational English speaking skills through practice. You are usually provided meals. Frequency may vary. Your room will be furnished, have good lighting, and have an area for you to study or prepare for your day.
IAU does not endorse or recommend to students or others any homestay agency or any other off-campus rental property. IAU has made no independent investigations of, and accepts no responsibility for, the safety or other condition of those properties. No special referral or incentive arrangement exists between the IAU and any homestay agency or outside property, and the IAU expressly disclaims giving any guarantees, warranties, or any other representations about such properties, including their safety. Students or others who arrange for housing through a homestay agency or otherwise live off-campus must make their own personal choices with regard to the selection of living accommodations, and should individually investigate the safety and condition of any homestay arrangement or rental property. Homestay agencies and off-campus properties are provided as an information service only.
