Department of Defense Memorandum of Understanding

American Intercontinental University System ("AIUS") is pleased to hold a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Department of Defense ("DOD"), which allows our institutions the opportunity to further our commitment to excellence in educating Service member students.

By following the guidance of the DOD MOU, we are able to ensure that all Service members have access to what they need to make informed decisions about where to attend school and about how their Tuition Assistance ("TA") benefits will interact with their chosen educational programs.
