Why Earn a Liberal Arts Transfer Degree at Aims?

When you add up the benefits, starting at Aims just makes sense.

Pay less in tuition without sacrificing quality

Smaller class sizes led by instructors invested in your success

Ongoing support from Pathway Advisors & Transfer Coaches

Seamlessly transfer to a four-year school as a junior

The professors at Aims are just unmatched. I have never had a bad professor. Every semester I'm like, "I have a new favorite professor because they're all good." And just the fact that it's small class sizes so I can really interact with them and really ask them questions to understand the material they're teaching. And they all care about what they're doing, so I think that was the biggest thing that helped me succeed.
