AIRC was conceived and created by accredited U.S. colleges and universities as a non-profit Standards Development Organization in order to address known deficiencies in the higher education marketplace through the adoption of ethical standards. Such standards are used successfully by a range of associations concerned with the intersection of business and professional practice.

AIRC believes that international students considering a U.S. education make an investment not only in their future, but also in the future of U.S interests when they return home, mature, and build new business and diplomatic partnerships. AIRC believes these students’ investment decisions should be made with the most in-depth knowledge available to ensure the investment is sound and objective.
