Armenian College Inauguration ceremonies for the opening of the first Armenian college in the United States American Armenian International College (AAIC) took place Sept. 12, 1976. One of the goals of the college is to enrich students in the Armenian cultural heritage. AAIC and LVC are independent of each other in operations, management and finances, and each has its own Board of Directors. It is interesting to note that in the Armenian Architecture class being offered this year, there were more students in the class that were non-Armenian than Armenian. Extensions 155

The Field Studies Sector started in 1970 with the idea that the educational needs of a person can be approached differently than in the regular classroom situation. Some Field Studies students are military men or women stationed at various places around the world; mid-career professionals involved in occupation changes; persons who are seeking additional knowledge, skills, and or techniques for their job assignments; or people who want to pursue a long-delayed educational objective. In 1975-76 there were more than 30,000 individuals enrolled into this unique program. One of the divisions of the Field Studies Sector is the Residence Centers, found on some military bases including Subic Bay in the Phillippines, Port Hueneme, Point Mugu, Vanaenberg Air Force Base, and North Island. The newest of the Residence Centers is in Athens, Greece. Another area is the unique individual Travel-Study Program. This enables individuals to engage in study programs and earn credits while they travel. 1.
