AUM, where your ambition grows…

The AUM Advantage: At AUM, high standards and personal attention combine to create a world-class educational experience.

Affordable Education:AUM’s tuition is much lower than many institutions in the USA. Also, AUM offers scholarships—up to $16,000 a year for qualified international students.

Personal Attention:At AUM, class sizes are small (1 professor: 16 students). You can work more closely with your classmates and professors. Also, the Office of Global Initiatives works directly with all international students from the moment they arrive in the USA. We will help you with the application form and visa issues. We will pick you up at the Montgomery Regional Airport, help you locate your apartment on campus, set up Internet and phone service, and find your advisor.

Excellent Academics:AUM is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Also, AUM is ranked among the South’s top universities by U.S. News and World Report. Consistently chosen the best university in the area, AUM provides students with detailed knowledge and

hands-on, practical experience, often from professionals in the field. In the College of Business, for example, students learn from faculty members who were managers of Fortune 500 companies, renowned economists, certified public accountants, researchers, and software developers. Students can also gain real-world experience by participating in internships at area companies.
