| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
AIC was founded in 1885, originally for the education of new immigrants to the United States. As immigration patterns changed, the college began to enroll a larger percentage of domestic students. Presently, the highest percentage of students enrolled are from the northeast region of the U.S. but there remains a commitment to providing a globalized learning environment.
The college is coeducational, independent, and non-sectarian situated in an urban environment. The primary function according to the Mission Statement is the teaching and learning process and the curriculum is designed to serve that function. The education of each student is rooted in the liberal arts with an emphasis on both career preparation and preparation for graduate or professional study. |
