Founded in 1969, The American University of Rome (AUR) is the oldest American degree-granting institution in Italy and offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the Liberal Arts and Business to students from across the globe. Its campus on top of the Janiculum Hill is home to around 500 students hailing from over 50 countries. Taking the best of the American approach to interdisciplinary, student-centered learning, our international faculty use Rome as a classroom and Italy and Europe as invaluable resources. AUR’s innovative programs promote intellectual excellence, personal growth and an appreciation of cultural diversity in an international environment. Alongside the ten undergraduate and three graduate degree programs are offered associate degrees and a wide range of secondary areas of specialization, including minors as part of the BA and BSc degrees, and high-profile masterclasses.
