An American Experience in Europe
The American model of higher education has set the standard for the rest of the world. According to the Academic Ranking of World Universities, 18 of the top 20 universities in the world and 32 of the top 40 are American. The American approach to higher education stresses critical thinking, active learning, and creativity.
The American University in Bulgaria is fully American, offering the American approach to curriculum and teaching, as well as American standards of excellence and integrity. We have full American accreditation, and our graduates go on to top American graduate schools. If you are considering the American University in Bulgaria, you want to know what makes this university truly American.
American Faculty
No university can claim to be “American” without faculty who are American or have American experience. In addition to the large group of American faculty on campus, we have European faculty who have earned their degrees from prominent American universities such as Princeton, Harvard, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.
AUBG faculty bring their American experience to the classroom, creating a full American educational experience here in Europe. They promote a personalized learning environment where you are an individual, not a number, and both individual and team accomplishments are valued. We like to say that our American education in Europe gives students the best of both worlds!
“I was impressed by the quality of leadership and the willingness of professors to spend extra time outside of the classroom for help with classwork, or even just to chat.”
— Jesse Haines, a U.S. Student who spent Fall 2004 and Fall 2005 semesters at AUBG
American Curriculum
The AUBG curriculum is structured just as it would be, at a high-quality University in the United States. This “American” approach ensures that students achieve mastery of their major area of study. But it also means that students learn to think critically, to adapt to a rapidly changing world, and to continue to learn throughout their lives and careers.
Every AUBG student, regardless of major, receives sound preparation in quantitative analysis, communication skills, and cross-cultural understanding, while also pursuing their own special career interests. It is this holistic approach to learning that makes American education special—and which makes AUBG graduates so appealing to employers.
