| Mission | |
| School mission: | American University was recently selected as a "best value" college for its combination of outstanding academics, moderate tuition, and financial aid. At AU, a key word is "access." Located at the top of "Embassy Row," students have the best of both worlds -- a traditional campus and easy access to downtown for internships, research -- and fun. Our faculty are experts in their fields, and pride themselves on being accessible to students. AU: small classes; cutting-edge technology; and an interdisciplinary curriculum in the arts and sciences, business, communication, international studies, and public affairs, both here and overseas, through the AU Abroad Program. |
