InterAmerican University International Network System
Since
1999, students and faculty of InterAmerican University have
benefited from the University’s membership in InterAmerican
University International Network System, today a consortium
of 28 colleges and universities. IUNINS works with its member
institutions to help their students and faculty gain access
to many options available worldwide; to keep its members informed
about opportunities for fellowship, scholarship, and research
appointments; and to organize research alliances among its
members.
The InterAmerican University International Network System
manages, undergraduates, graduates, postgraduates, as well
as faculty enjoy access to a multitude of opportunities for
study and research. Students can participate in programs covering
a wide variety of disciplines including business, humanities,
engineering, and mathematics, among others. Appointment and
program length range from one month to four years.
Education
is enhanced through exposure to diversity in composition of
the student body, faculty, staff, and administrators; including
women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and various
age groups and religions. The University has responded to
the challenging responsibility of being located in a culturally
diverse region by developing a unique blend of teaching, research,
and service.
Teaching
brings the benefits of scholarship and research to students
and through them to the people of the area. InterAmerican
University asserts that excellence in teaching traditional
and non-traditional students is its central responsibility.
A comprehensive undergraduate education, grounded in the arts
and sciences, develops intellectual, cultural, and ethical
qualities in its students. The innovative General Education
Program challenges students to develop the analytical and
critical skills necessary for life-long learning. InterAmerican
University offers advance standing degrees in selected graduate
programs as well as degrees in certain professional areas.
Through learning begun at InterAmerican University, graduates
compete in the global intellectual community in which they
live.
As
a research university, InterAmerican University develops,
integrates, disseminates, and applies knowledge. Faculty maintains
on-going programs of basic and applied research or creative
activities appropriate to their disciplines. The University's
urban and rural environments provide a rich opportunity for
research and creative scholarship, and for the use of that
scholarship in the intellectual and cultural development of
the region. The University's commitment to fostering a research
and creative environment harmonizes with the other aspects
of its mission. InterAmerican University fulfills its outreach
mission through its contributions to professional organizations
and to the needs of the community.
The
University promotes intellectual, cultural, and community
development of the region through, for example, its artistic
programs, lecture series, technical assistance, continuing
education, and intercollegiate athletic programs.

University, through its research, teaching, and outreach roles,
responds to individual needs and addresses broader issues
