Academic Progr ams Rome has beckoned students to AUR for the past 40 years and serves as its “classroom” for students in every academic program. I have an opportunity to get an American education and experience another culture at the same time. “A b d u l r a h m a n A l - Z a m i l The strength of an AUR education lies in the blending of an in-depth major field of study that combines theory, practice and a capstone experience with a broad general education program that provides breadth of knowledge and the development of life-long learning skills. Add to this the opportunity for practical experience through fieldwork courses and internships and an AUR degree prepares you for further study or work anywhere in the world. Interdisciplinary Approach AUR has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to a liberal arts and professional education. Our academic departments and degree programs emphasize the intellectual connections among fields of study. Students in International Relations, for instance, engage in the study of history, political theory, government, economics, law and public administration as they focus on the regions of Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The Business Studies program has an international focus with opportunities for students to explore the social and cultural ramifications of operating in a global economy. Archeology, Art History, Business Studies and Italian Studies collaborate to offer programs in The Business of Art, Cultural Heritage Management and The Italian Business Environment. 6 At AUR students take a wider, more interdisciplinary and holistic perspective on their university education. General Education Program and Skills for Life-long Learning All degree-seeking students complement their major with a well-established General Education program. These courses are rooted in the mission of the University: to develop practical skills that can lead to successful careers and professions, draw on the rich instructional resources of Rome, enhance understanding of ethics and multiculturalism in our society and identify and address social issues of diversity. All AUR degree students develop the following skills through the General Education program: Writing, Quantitative and Scientific Reasoning, Italian Language, Information Technology, Information Literacy and Oral Presentation. These skills are further refined in applications in their major courses. Through a broad array of minors, fieldwork and internships related to current interests and future careers and capstone experiences in the senior year, AUR students strive to realize the University’s mission “to live and work across cultures as skilled and knowledgeable citizens of an interconnected and rapidly changing world.”
The AUR curriculum prepared to live and work across cultures AUR students have the ability to study at another university in Rome or experience university study in another country. Students with the requisite Italian language ability may arrange for part of their study at the nearby Libera Università Maria SS. Assunta, known more popularly as “LUMSA”. LUMSA is one of Italy’s most prestigious private liberal arts university and AUR students may choose from a broad array of courses. Our AUR Abroad program provides students with the opportunity to study at well respected universities in other countries including the USA, Costa Rica, China, Ecuador, Greece, Jordan, Morocco, Belgium, Germany, Peru and many others. AUR also helps students with locating practical career-related work for credit experiences to better prepare them for the workplace. Popularly called internships or practicum experiences, students gain practical work experience and credit towards their degree. These important experiences can be had in Italy, Europe or the Americas. Participation in any or all of these opportunities certainly helps make a student stand out in today’s competitive academic and working world.
