*Academic Preparatory Program (APP)

The Academic Preparatory Program (APP) prepares non-native English speaking high school graduates to enter the AUIS undergraduate program by teaching them academic English, critical thinking skills and study habits as well as math skills. APP’s goal is to ensure that upon completion of the Program, students have the necessary proficiency in English reading, speaking, and writing, as well as university-level math skills and awareness of academic cultural norms and expectations to succeed in their first year of undergraduate studies at AUIS.
 

Department/Majors

A student’s major is his or her primary program of study, and it defines the degree earned by each student upon graduation.
 

Concentrations

A concentration is a 5-course program that allows students to explore a subject within their major field of study in more depth. Concentrations are optional, and only students in the major are eligible to take the accompanying concentrations.

 

Minors

A minor is a 5-course program of study in a specific subject that supplements a student’s major study. By taking certain electives, students with an interest in more than one field may earn a “minor” in a second subject. Students may take a minor in any department.
