AUIS, with its comprehensive curriculum, not only teaches up-to-date knowledge and skills, but also emphasizes critical thinking, good citizenship, and personal integrity. Students often work in teams for problem-solving; they debate with each other and learn from one another. Our excellent faculty are professionals in American-style education. They use modern teaching and learning techniques in order to equip all AUIS students with the skills, insights, and confidence to make positive contributions to their communities. 

As the department, we strive to develop future business professionals and leaders who are capable of propelling this region into the forefront of the business world. We equip our students with the tools necessary to excel in private sector enterprises by effectively conveying core discipline-specific knowledge, coupled with developing critical and strategic thinking, analysis, synthesis and problem-solving abilities. We utilize best practices of an American-style business education. 

We also serve as a model and resource for business programs and businesses in the region. We engage in outreach programs with regional business organizations. We believe that the Middle East has a great potential for businesses.
