>> BIU ADVANTAGES

BIU is different.

Enrolling at BIU is an important decision. So consider our advantages and how we can effectively help you to achieve your personal and professional goals.

Specialization.
The wide range of disciplines covered in the BIU curricula guarantee our students a highly competitive academic and professional profile. Degree programs are designed to satisfy employers' demands for qualifications and to place candidates above their peers.

Personalized programs.
BIU credit system allows a number of course combinations that adapt to the students career objectives, thus making tailored education a reality.

Prior knowledge is taken into account.
Students learn what they need to learn, not what they already know. This fundamental premise allows BIU students to save time. In this way, instruction is practical, hands-on, more interesting and very motivating.

Compatibility.
Students receive the complete course of studies at the beginning of the program so that they can administer their time accordingly. Compatibility with the students work and personal schedule is absolute.

Learning Methodology.
BIU learning system involves anything but memorization. Based on the most recent developments in psychology and pedagogy, BIU learning system emphasizes critical thinking and reading. Similarly, in order to keep up with the latest scientific findings, course syllabi are reviewed and updated every three months.

Languages.
English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Chinese.

Tuition.
Students save up to 10 times what they would spend on traditional university.

Comments from our Students

Maxwell Kirkpatrick - B.A. in Marketing
"At first, I didn't know what to think. I found it hard to believe that a full-blown university could offer me the possibility of earning a degree with all the flexibility of BIU. Now I have to admit that this educational program is incredible. I am absolutely convinced that the future of education is in distance learning."

Carol Stanfield - Master (M.S.) in Computer Science
"I was reluctant to spend the money it had taken me years to save up. I just didn't want to. Finally, I made up my mind and explained my situation to the people at BIU. Among other things, I was awarded a partial scholarship. It turned out to be the best investment I had ever made. In little more that a year, I recovered all the money I had spent."

Cesar Mazzolli - Ph.D. in Anthropology
"Studying is my passion. Because of the revalidation business, I was worried that I was not going to be able to go in-depth in my studies... I was fascinated with the degree program I pursued: It was concise but, at the same time, it gave me access to valuable research material I was not familiar with."

Peter Ramirez - M.B.A.
"I was in a hurry to complete the program and have my degree. I wanted to know what I had to study and how long it would take me. I didn't want to waste my time... All the books I studied from were really useful and easy to read. I didn't really have to make an effort to sit down and study a few days a week. I was really surprised to be able to complete the program in six months."

Tatiana Rimkus - B.A. in International Relations
"I was obsessed with traditional education. I used to think that all the other options would be of no use to me. Year after year, I would stubbornly sign up for classes and then, because of my job and trips, I would always end up dropping out before the end of the semester. Wasting my money like that caused me a lot of stress... I am happy I finally decided to try BIU."

Sofia Marcos de Sagra - M.S. in Finance
"I lost a great employment opportunity. I was satisfied with my resume: I had more experience and knew more than all the other candidates. My interviewers let me know that I was actually better qualified, but they hired somebody else because that person had a Master's degree... It was very unfair, but it will never happen to me again."

Steven Kurl-Basta - Ph.D. in Psychology
"I felt at a disadvantage when my clients came to see me. I don't know if they can tell, but now I feel they treat me differently. I have a Ph.D. to back me up... My business has strengthened and it's looking better every day."

Rose MacDonald - B.A. in Hotel Management
"I have been promoted and I make a lot more money. I began at the bottom, working hard and with few opportunities of improvement... Since I decided to go back to school, people at work take me into account. I am part of the managing team now and I earn three times as much as four years ago."
