Graduate Degree Admissions

The American University of Armenia was founded to provide an educational experience that meets your personal goals and which values and develops academic excellence, free inquiry, scholarship, leadership, and service to society.  AUA offers Western graduate instruction that conforms to American standards as demonstrated by our achieving U.S. accreditation.  Under our Financial Aid Programs, AUA offers scholarship and need-based tuition assistance opportunities to help you pursue your education at AUA.   Courses in English and the required entrance exams are available to help you meet our standards for admission.

AUA provides graduate level instruction leading to the Master's Degree in seven graduate programs:  Business Administration, Industrial Engineering and Systems Management, Computer and Information Science, Law, 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, Department, or School. 

AUA’s graduate programs are intended to develop critical analysis, professional skills, and depth of knowledge in a chosen field of study through advanced coursework, independent study, and research. By offering its instructional programs in English, AUA strives to make these programs accessible to qualified individuals from throughout the region.

Because the number of students who can be accepted to each program is limited, admission to AUA is based on a detailed review of the applicant's academic record and an assessment of the applicant’s seriousness of purpose in seeking to undertake graduate studies at AUA.

Feel free to continue reviewing our website to learn more about our programs or email us with your questions by writing to admission@aua.am.

You may also visit us at the Office of the Registrar, located in AUA’s Main Building.  The office is open weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00.

I look forward to your application.
