American InterContinental University (AIU®) is proud to announce
that it is the first university in the state of Illinois to be
approved to operate under the National Council for State
Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
NC-SARA is an agreement among member states, districts and
territories that establishes comparable national standards for
interstate offering of postsecondary distance education courses and
programs. The goal of this approach is to make it easier for
students to take online courses offered by postsecondary
institutions based in another state. Participation doesn’t replace
state authorization but rather centralizes it in an institution’s
home state.
“We’re proud to be early adopters in this movement to broaden
access to distance education options for students across the
country,” said Dr. George Miller, President and Chancellor of
AIU.
Participation in SARA also allows member institutions to be more
nimble in creating new program offerings to meet student and market
needs as well as enhancing current offerings, as they won’t need to
seek additional approvals for such updates in fellow member
states.
The SARA agreements are being implemented by the four regional
higher education interstate compacts, the Midwestern Higher
Education Compact, the New England Board of Higher Education, the
Southern Regional Education Board and the Western Interstate
Commission for Higher Education. Membership was opened in January
2014 and as of August 27, 2015, 28 states are SARA members and 343
institutions are participants.
