AIIAS Goals and Corporate Identity Study

Abstract

AIIAS exists to develop Christian leaders for service to the Church and society. As a faith-based educational institution its mission must reflect spiritual as well as academic concerns. Is AIIAS accomplishing that mission? This mixed methods study analyzed quantitative and qualitative data from a survey of 239 AIIAS students and alumni, including extension and online students. Responses showed that AIIAS is generally meeting its stated goals, but there is room for improvement and useful suggestions were offered.. Interesting data patterns about concepts such as spirituality, institutional quality, and service also emerged.
