| AUR
Abroad - Study Abroad Opportunies across the globe
for AUR Resident Students
AUR students who meet specified
program requirements have the opportunity to spend
a semester, summer or winter session, studying
in another country through the AUR Abroad (AURA)
program. Academic study through the prism of a
new culture can provide students with a perspective
that they would not otherwise gain. The American
University of Rome believes that in order to be
truly prepared to work in a multicultural environment
and acquire an appreciation of and a sensitivity
to diversity, students should spend some part
of their undergraduate studies in another country.
AUR has a rich study abroad program that offers
students opportunities to study in the United
States, Europe, South America or China.
Agreements with the City University
of New York, Emory University (Goizueta Business
School), and Copenhagen Business School create
a wide array of study abroad opportunities for
AUR students. Through our partnership with the
CUNY-CSI Center for International Service, students
can study in the United States (College of Staten
Island), China (Nanjing University and Shanghai
University), Denmark (Danish International Studies
Program), Greece (American College of Thessaloniki),
Ecuador (Catholic University of Guayaquil and
the University of San Francisco de Quito) as well
as Vietnam, Spain and in the United Kingdom (England).
A number of our students have studied independently
at The American University of Paris, The American
University of Cairo, Vesalius University and The
American University of Lebanon, among other international
colleges.
Among the regular exchange programs
currently in place for AUR students:
The College of Staten Island
is a University of 12,000 students, situated in
one of the five boroughs of the city of New York,
on a green and spacious campus in a suburban area.
CSI offers a wide range of academic programs that
are complementary to those at AUR.
Business students with a GPA
of 3.4 or better are encouraged to consider a
semester at the Goizueta Business School of Emory
University in Atlanta, GA. This top-20 undergraduate
business program offers a unique opportunity for
students to study in an American setting and prepare
for the rigors of graduate school. Interested
students must be nominated and interviewed for
the limited number of places available in this
program.
Business students who prefer
to remain in Europe can take advantage of the
newly forged partnership with The Copenhagen Business
School. CBS is the largest business school in
Northern Europe offering Denmark's most comprehensive
range of university degrees in economics and business
administration and modern languages for business.
There is no foreign language prerequisite for
overseas programs, but all students are required
to study the language of their host country, in
courses appropriate to their level of ability.
In order to study abroad, a student must have
a cumulative grade point average of 2.7 and the
permission of his or her academic advisor.
The AURA Program Director provides
assistance and information about the programs
and admission requirements. To prepare effectively
for study-abroad, students are encouraged to investigate
the opportunities early in their academic careers.
