The mission of the College is to provide quality education to a diverse body of students from throughout the world.
Our primary function is the teaching-learning process; that the curriculum should be designed to serve that function; and that all other activities should be consistent with that function.
The College is dedicated to the belief that the liberal arts provide the foundation for lifelong intellectual growth and learning. We are committed to the creation in each individual student of an awareness of his or her own intrinsic worth, a concern for others, an international perspective, and a dedication and sense of responsibility to both private and public sectors.
A major focus of the required core educational program is to develop in our students the abilities to think logically, act creatively, and communicate effectively. The curriculum of each of the College's schools and divisions incorporates practica and/or internships.

American International College was originally established on July 18, 1885 as the French Protestant College by Rev. Calvin E. Amaron, who sought to create an institution of higher learning that would provide the local French Protestant minority with access to higher education. Over the years the college expanded its admissions program to include women in 1892 and other minorities, who were not of French origin and emigrated to Western Massachusetts from other parts of Europe and Canada. Today, the college is a thriving multi-cultural institution of higher learning which continues to emphasize its commitment to the local community.
