Brief Overview
Aspen University's roots go back over 40 years -- when most people didn't even realize the world was entering the information age.
A Little History
Aspen University* grew from the International Academy created in the 1960s to improve the way information was disseminated. During the next two decades the academy distinguished itself as an exceptional provider of premium education in information management. In 1982, the academy established the Information Institute to help people adapt to and make full use of all the emerging information technologies. The institute became keenly focused on meeting the needs of the workforce, sponsoring conferences and conducting extensive research to broaden the world's understanding of information-related topics such as appropriate uses and effective management of information.
