This prospectus will provide you with a brief introduction to life at AUS, the courses and programs, and will take you through the application process. AUS offers you the chance to experience American education in the Gulf. That statement has four meanings. First, the standard of instruction is the same as that of outstanding universities in America. Second, the method of classroom instruction is American in its emphasis on individual initiative, active learning and the application of knowledge. Third, student life on campus is rich with clubs, sports and cultural events. Fourth, the curriculum is organized according to the American pattern of semesters and courses. We encourage you to visit our magnificent campus, inspect our state-of-the-art facilities, talk with students, meet members of the faculty and discover for yourself why so many bright young men and women have made AUS their first choice.
