American University of Armenia

AUA practices holistic admissions. We are looking for students who not only succeed academically, but who excel outside of school. You may be a first ranked chess player, an Olympiad winner, or a published poet. Or perhaps you are an accomplished musician – excelling in the piano, violin, or oud. Perhaps you have a black belt in karate, are a star dancer, or are part of your high school’s student council.  Or maybe you are actively involved in volunteering for your community. At AUA, the decision to offer a student admission is never based on just one factor. We will always look at your academic credentials, your official entrance exam scores, your extracurricular and volunteer experience, and more.

AUA’s graduate program offers master’s degrees that develop critical analysis and depth of knowledge through advanced coursework, independent study, and research. Available programs of study include Business Administration, Computer and Information Science, Economics, Industrial Engineering and Systems Management, Laws, Political Science and International Affairs, Public Health, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Program requirements and courses are described in detail on this website under the respective College or School.

AUA practices holistic admissions. What this means is that you are more than just a standardized test score and undergraduate degree grades. In addition to looking at your GPA and test scores, the Admissions Committee pays close attention to your academic credentials, professional experience, your ability to describe your academic interests and justify your reasons for applying, your recommendation letters, and an interview, if applicable.
