United Arab Emirates: American University of Sharjah - Main Page

Live in a distinctive and beautiful campus!

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) may seem a bit off the beaten path, but if you're interested in Middle Eastern studies, or just want a cosmopolitan, international university in a distinctive locale outside the United States, then American University of Sharjah (AUS) may be for you!

American University of Sharjah (AUS) was founded in 1997 with the goal of becoming the leading educational institution in the Gulf region. AU and AUS have a unique relationship, because AU was instrumental in helping AUS get started and has continued to play a key role in providing assistance for its Middle Eastern partner. Based upon American institutions of higher education, AUS is also thoroughly grounded in Arab culture and is emerging as a leading comprehensive coeducational university in the Gulf, serving students from the region and around the world. AU students can now be a part of this dynamic academic community.
