AUA will be offering three undergraduate majors starting September 2013:

• BA in Business (tracks: Accounting, Marketing, Economics, General)

• BS in Computational Sciences (tracks: Mathematical Modeling, Computer Science, General)

• BA in English & Communications (tracks: Public Relations, Writing & Translation, General)

AUA is committed to providing high-quality undergraduate education to well-qualified applicants on a non-discriminatory basis, regardless of ability to pay. However, space in the entering class for each major is limited; thus, students are admitted on a competitive basis.

The admissions process aims to select students who have the skills and ability to succeed at AUA and to assure that AUA is well-suited to their educational and career goals. For this reason, some applicants may be called for an interview as part of the admissions process. Having a specific grade point average or test score result is neither a guarantee of admission nor a definite indicator that an application will be rejected.

The language of instruction at AUA is English. All applicants must demonstrate sufficient proficiency in English to successfully participate in courses at AUA. Applicants must also demonstrate basic math proficiency. Applicants planning to major in Computational Sciences or Business are expected to demonstrate superior math knowledge. Applicants planning to major in English & Communications are expected to have superior English proficiency. Students who do not have sufficient English or Math proficiency may be advised how to improve their English and/or Math skills prior to admission.
