International Relations
My experience at AUR was highly informative
and helped to shape my world view. AUR
provided the foundation for me to succeed in
graduate school.
After graduating from AUR, I enrolled in the
Masters of International Relations program at
Johns Hopkins University, spending the first
year at their School of Advanced International
Studies in Bologna, Italy, and the second year
in Washington, DC.
I have worked at the Peace Research Institute
in Frankfurt, Germany, as a researcher on nuclear
weapons proliferation and as a consultant for
the World Conservation Monitoring Center, an
organization affiliated with the United Nations.
I recently accepted a fully-funded position in
the doctoral program in political science at
Brown University in the US.
As Head of Cabinet, Ministry of European Integration
of Albania, I found the blending of the
international faculty, students and staff, the
unique location and the diverse program of
study at AUR to be the ideal academic institution
for all students like me who want to contribute
to making a difference wherever they are.
The American University of Rome was a life
changing experience for me. The knowledge I
gathered at AUR helped me with my graduate
studies and to build my confidence in successfully
pursuing a career in my country.

Communication
With solid instruction and courses covering
a wide spectrum of topics and issues, my
AUR Communication degree prepared me
for a master’s degree in Management from
Regent’s College London. I have worked in
public relations and management for a luxury
hotel in Switzerland and now as a real estate
investment advisor in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates. I still pursue my horse riding and
appreciate the important role AUR has played
in my interesting and exciting life.
AUR was a great help to me. I learned from
wonderful business professors and from the
classmates I met who are now living and working
all over the world. After graduating, I worked for
several companies in Rome before becoming CFO
of MTV for the Adriatic region in Belgrade.
I have fond memories of AUR, Bella Roma and the
exciting field trips I took with the Business Department
to interesting businesses throughout Italy.

Art History
Every employer I have dealt with was immediately impressed
that I studied Art History in Rome. It looks great
on a resume or CV, and is an immediate conversation
starter during interviews. It flat out sets you apart from
the crowd! Once employed, Art History (and the Classics
in general) gave me the problem solving skills that were
essential for my job in the legal industry. The ability to
visualize large frameworks of ideas (think Sistine Chapel
ceiling) is essential to see a system and identify how to
proceed in the task at hand as well as diagnosing foreseeable
difficulties.
