American University's spacious tree-lined campus in the northwest quadrant of Washington DC provides students with an attractive, safe campus in the heart of the nation's capital. A global university, American is home to more than 1,000 international students representing over 135 countries.
The undergraduate and graduate school at American University is divided into the College of Arts and Sciences, Kogod School of Business, School of Communication, School of International Service, and School of Public Affairs. In addition, the Washington College of Law offers JD and LLM degrees for both full and part-time study. Each AU college also offers a limited number of combined bachelors/masters degree programs for undergraduate students completed during the junior and senior years of study.
For the 2008-09 school year, over half of all incoming international American University students received partial-tuition merit awards ranging from $5,000-$30,000, renewable for all four years of study.
Graduate merit-based awards available include fellowships, assistantships, study grants, special opportunity awards, Hall of Nation awards, Dissertation fellowships, Hurst Scholar Awards, and Master's Scholar Awards. The Jack Kente Cooke Foundation Graduate Fellowship funds all tuition toward any full-time graduate or professional degree and awards recipients a generous stipend.
