As a distance education university, to achieve our mission of embedding a practitioner’s perspective into the university’s curriculum with a focus on the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed for entry or advancement in the occupations or fields of study that the student wishes to pursue, ALU welcomes collaboration with other institutions and organizations. Our memberships and affiliations serve as additional resources for students seeking scholarships, discounts and professional development outside of ALU’s curriculum.
