The Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS) (pronounced "I-Us"), was established by the Seventh-Day Adventist church because of its commitment to meet the growing needs of the church for more qualified college teachers, church leaders, educators, health professionals, and treasurers.
AIIAS is a graduate level educational institution that is both a locally and internationally accredited institution located in Silang, Cavite, Philippines, about 25 miles (40 km) south of Manila.
In 2007 AIIAS distinguished itself as being one of the first Adventist educational institutions to confer degrees to students who had earned master’s degrees entirely over the internet. In that same year, AIIAS became the very first Seventh-day Adventist institutions to offer a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Business.

“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it.... Advanced art today is no longer a cause—it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
