AIB is a highly respected court reporting college and our graduates are sought out by firms across the country. When you start your college career at AIB, you can earn an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in either Voice Captioning or Steno Transcription.

The curriculum of AIB College of Business' Bachelor of Science in Court Reporting (Steno) provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be realtime freelance and judicial reporters. It is our belief that students should be provided the opportunity to explore and develop general knowledge, ethical and civic responsibilities, technical skills, and research abilities to become successful “guardians of the record."
