What stands out in AIU’s table
Upper-level landings (5): Organizational Behavior (MGMT 310), Principles of Management (MGMT 310), Managerial Accounting (ACCT 310), Financial Accounting (ACCT 311), and Business Statistics (BUSN 311). These are the rows where a StraighterLine course fills a 300- or 400-level AIU course.
Named vs. elective: 26 of 50 rows land as named AIU courses; 24 land as elective credit and 0 as general-education or category credit. Named rows satisfy specific requirements; elective and category rows mostly build your credit total.
Lecture-and-lab combos (6): rows that begin “All of the following” require every listed StraighterLine course before the credit applies.
