Transfer Pathway from AUR to American University, Washington, D.C.

The American University of Rome (AUR) and American University, Washington, D.C. (AU) have established a Transfer Articulation Agreement. This agreement offers AUR students the opportunity to initiate their undergraduate studies at AUR in Italy and, upon acceptance into AU, pursue their degrees in designated major at AU in Washington, D.C. AUR students have the option to transfer their earned credits to AU, contingent upon meeting AU's admission criteria.

HOW DOES THIS PARTNERSHIP WORK FOR STUDENTS?

For U.S.-based students, this partnership offers an opportunity to add an international dimension to their academic experience. Students will spend one or two years at AUR, where they can delve deep into Rome and Europe's rich cultural, political, and artistic resources while developing a network of globally diverse friends and colleagues. The academic and cultural experiences they take back to American University will enrich their future learning, add depth to their understanding of their subjects, and add to their future employability. 

For non-US students, AUR is an ideal bridge into the American education system; our small size and our dynamic approach to classroom interactions mean that you won't get lost in the crowd as you move into a teaching and learning system that is based more on discussion and discovery than on direct lecturing. During their time at AUR, students will build a robust academic foundation, discover their passions, and 'bank' their initial credits in preparation for their move to one of the United States' most respected universities.

WHAT ABOUT FEES? WILL I PAY MUCH MORE WHEN I TRANSFER TO AU?

The American University of Rome is recognized among US institutions as an affordable university that delivers high-quality education below the average price you might pay at a college in the USA. AUR also offers a range of scholarships and a student training program that can significantly reduce the amount you pay.

American University, Washington, recognizes that their cost of attendance is higher, but as they value the insights and experiences AUR transfer students bring to their learning community and want to recognize transferring students academic efforts, they have made the commitment that all AUR transfer students to AU will automatically receive a 25% scholarship. AU also offers a range of other scholarship and student work opportunities.

WHICH MAJORS CAN I UNDERTAKE AT AU VIA THIS TRANSFER PATHWAY?

Three majors are open to AUR Students: International Studies (SIS), Communication Studies (SOC), Film and Media (SOC).
