American International College Named Among Fastest Growing Colleges
SPRINGFIELD, MA (PRWEB) August 25, 2015 -- The Chronicle of Higher Education recently named American International College (AIC) one of the fastest growing colleges in the United States for the fourth time. Among private, non-profit master’s institutions, AIC placed among the top 20 colleges and universities in the country with a 131.5% growth rate, more than doubling its enrollment over a ten year span, 2003-2013.
In categorical comparison to other colleges and universities in the Commonwealth, Worcester Polytechnic Institute ranked sixth in private non-profit doctoral degree institutions with a 69% growth, Bay Path University ranked seventeenth in private baccalaureate institutions with 79.4% growth and AIC ranked eighteenth in private master’s institutions with 131.5% growth.
“We are extremely proud to have been recognized for our efforts," says President Vincent Maniaci. “We’re very student-centric at AIC and believe that a college education is more than academic and intellectual growth. It includes personal, spiritual, and professional development; building a sense of community and trust between staff and students. These ideals coupled with the College’s commitment to identify future trends as we develop programs, give our students a solid foundation on which they can build to reach their full potential, paving the way for them to compete successfully in a rapidly changing world.”
Data collected for the Chronicle of Higher Education was based on fall enrollments of full-time and part-time students and included all U.S. degree granting programs with a minimum of a 500 student enrollment in 2003.
