Graduate Degree Planning |
Individualized
degree plans are
person-centered rather than institution or curriculum focused.
Individualized plans build
on each scholar's formal and informal academic background.
Traditional
and nontraditional learning methods are employed by the
university population. The learning environment is comprised mainly
of mid-career professionals. This unique environment fosters the
fulfillment of requirements of
approved degree plans. AMIU learning methods include, but are not
limited to independent studies
evaluated by approved faculty,
mentored coursework experienced in diverse settings, computer enhanced studies, courses via audio and
video cassette, and/or residential professional and
academic seminars.
AMIU
learners use diverse methods that contribute to quality study and
research in their graduate studies. These learning modalities enable
candidates to complete studies at their own pace, from their own place,
with no required on-campus
residency as traditionally defined.
Roy
Fairfield, education change-agent and co-founder of a pioneer
international university, presents a compelling study about this
learning model in Person-Centered Graduate Education,
his once-in-a-generation book that describes
the birth, adolescence, and maturing of a unique idea in higher
education. Dr. Fairfield's work was
published by Prometheons Books in 1977.
