Allied American University Announces New President and CCO Charli Hislop

Online, April 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Allied American University (AAU) is continually evolving in order to provide every student with an online education experience that is both timely and high-quality. That's why the university is proud to begin spring 2010 with Charli Hislop, a 14-year online education veteran, as president and chief compliance officer.

Hislop began her career in the online education field with Allied Schools, Inc. in 1996. From ensuring compliance standards are met at all regulatory levels to progressing business/course development efforts and launching Allied National High School, she has had the pleasure of playing an integral role in the overall growth of the Allied Schools' family of companies.

Throughout the years, Hislop has witnessed how the progression of online schools has made obtaining an education possible for a whole new population of students - including deployed active duty service members and individuals who work full-time. In fact, not only does Hislop advocate the flexibility and accessibility online education empowers a student with, but she experienced it first hand when she completed her MBA at an online university in 2007 while maintaining her full-time career and family.

"Distance education is important because it allows students to receive education on their terms and schedule," said Hislop.

AAU caters to a wide-variety of students, each with unique challenges and educational goals. For example, students can pursue online associate or bachelor's degrees in Business Administration, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice or General Studies. A variety of concentration programs, such as Green Property Management and Real Estate, will provide a timely, competitive edge to a degree program.

AAU's 100% online and transferable general education courses are popular with students from other colleges who are faced with impacted classes. Also, AAU offers solutions for individuals who want to accelerate their current professions with 15+ online, university-level certificate programs, including Internet Marketing, Computer Programming, Management and Terrorism and Security.

AAU students enjoy more than the convenience of online, self-paced courses. Additional benefits include:

• No hidden costs - no extra charge for transfer credit evaluations, application, technology, graduation, and other typical fees
• Textbook grant covers the cost of required books
• Open enrollment based on 52 starts per year
• Live Student Support
• DETC Accredited
• Tuition Assistance for Active-Duty Military

Hislop's vision for AAU is to provide students with timely educational pathways that prepare them to meet the real world needs of today's economy. This includes enhancing and broadening AAU's programs that focus on technology and the renewable energy sectors.

"We are excited about the AAU's future with the earning of WASC eligibility status," said Hislop.
