CAMPUS SUMMARY
American University is an independent, coeducational university chartered by an Act of Congress in 1893. Located at the top of “Embassy Row” in Washington, D.C., AU has a traditional campus located in a residential neighborhood of the city that is within minutes of downtown Washington, the C & O Canal towpath along the Potomac River and the city’s vibrant multicultural neighborhoods and their shops and restaurants.

The university attracts cosmopolitan, diverse students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than 140 countries who want to turn ideas into action and action into service.

Distinguished scholars, artists, and researchers—the AU faculty are committed to teaching, mentoring, and advising undergraduates. You’ll have opportunities to participate in their research and creative efforts and get help in locating internships here and abroad.

Over 140 clubs and organizations, winning NCAA Division I athletics and intramural sports, and student-sponsored films, bands, festivals on the quad, and lectures make it easy for you to stay involved in campus life. See what it is like to be a member of our AU community!


UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Choose from over 50 majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, Kogod School of Business, School of Communication, School of International Service, and School of Public Affairs. Combined bachelor/master programs are available in most fields. Do you have a specific career in mind that doesn't quite fit an established major? You and your advisor can create an interdisciplinary major that suits your needs.

The top 10 percent of admitted students are invited into the University Honors Program. Interested in law or medicine? AU has excellent Pre-law and Premedical Programs that offer you the advising you need to prepare successfully for professional school. And in Washington, D.C., you can land an internship in any field imaginable.

With AU's commitment to providing you with a global perspective, it's not surprising that a large percentage of AU students study abroad. You can choose to attend one--or more--of our 30+ study abroad sites through the AU Abroad program.
