The American University of Rome and American University, Washington, D.C. have announced a new transfer agreement enabling students to begin their first two years of undergraduate study at AUR in Italy and then complete their degree in selected majors at AU in Washington, D.C. To show its commitment to AUR transfers and to facilitate the transfer process, AU is offering a generous 25 percent tuition scholarship to all AUR>AU transfer students.
AUR President Scott Sprenger described the significance of this partnership, stating, “At AUR, our mission is to empower students to realize their aspirations and potential for international lives and careers. This articulation agreement embodies that vision, especially for students who wish or need to divide their time between the U.S. and Europe. For U.S.-based students, it's an invitation to delve deep into Rome’s rich cultural, political, and artistic resources while developing a network of globally diverse friends and colleagues. For our Italian and European students, AUR serves as an ideal bridge into the American education system, allowing students to build a robust academic foundation at AUR before progressing to one of America's most esteemed universities.”
The American University of Rome Since 1969, The American University of Rome has provided an American liberal arts education to students from across the world seeking an extraordinary international educational experience. AUR is home to a highly diverse student body representing over 50 countries on campus. 28 native languages are spoken amongst our faculty and students, although all programs are conducted in English.
