History
The predecessor to Avicenna International College was founded in 1995 and the college launched its first academic year in 2000. Since then, more than 3,000 students have successfully completed one of the institution’s preparatory programs.[1]
In 2003, AIC established its International Advisory Board. The Advisory Board supervises and supports the educational activities and programs of the college. It observes and evaluates the educational plans and strategies, and advises the college officers on development of the quality management system.

During 2006 and 2007, the institution got its accreditation in Hungary and Iran, and since 2007, the Swedish governmental student agency recognizes AIC as well.
In 2006, AIC started a scholarship program to give aid to those students who have financial problems.[3]
