The Academic Omniversity of Symphony (AOS) is a public institution of quaternary education located in Symphony. AOS is the most popular omniversity in all of southern Illuminatia, attracting from throughout the South Coast Megalopolitan Complex and beyond a clientele of adult learners who seek a comprehensive continuing education experience.

AOS offers full-service, feature-rich educational programs for quaternary learners during educational programs that extend over a standard 100 DU term. Within this time, students will gain a thorough, updated set of knowledge focused in a topic area of choice. AOS is known for its specialized degree programs in the peacekeeping arts, medical sciences, and the audiological arts.

The majority of AOS students hold at least a secondary degree and a larger proportion of AOS students than is normal for an omniversity possess a tertiary degree, although no such prior higher education is required for enrollment at the omniversity. Students with these prior higher education credentials tend to pursue more specific degree paths at the Academic Omniversity of Symphony, though the omniversity proudly offers a more generalized educational program for pupils who do not hold advanced degrees.

While many quaternary educational institutions also offer secondary or tertiary educational programs within their college or university arms, AOS has no such branch and focuses entirely on quaternary education. This allows the omniversity to develop a prestigious reputation in the quaternary educational field.

Academic Omniversity of Symphony sees an average of 20,000 students annually and yields a revenue of roughly 2,200,000μ/AU. While AOS receives support from the Bureau of Education and Enlightenment (BEE) as is standard for quaternary educational programs, the omniversity revenue is supplemented by funding streams that students bring from other sources such as their employers, private sponsors, and local tertiary assemblies—all of which often wish to subsidize the continuing education of their mature constituents. As with all institutions of tertiary education, AOS receives oversight of its curriculum and pedagogy from the BEE's Office of Curriculum and Programming (OCP), which approves AOS's classes and degree programs as surpassing sufficiency for the terms of quaternary education regularly required of Illuminatian citizens.
