step forward for the intellectual discourse between the United States,

For the last 20 years, the American University of Armenia has offered

attending classes for the first time has been a profoundly moving
experience for all of us," said Bruce M. Boghosian, president of the
American University of Armenia. "We have always strived to enhance
intellectual and cultural bonds between students and faculty from
across the world. We are proud to see that happening on our campus
every day, and we know that our new undergraduate program will help
us make our educational experience even stronger."
Founded in 1991, the American University of Armenia offers a broad
slate of graduate - and now undergraduate - programs, including in
Business and Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and
Engineering, Public Health and the Environment.
In addition, the university engages actively in philanthropic efforts
across the region that are giving underserved students access to
educational resources; empowering entrepreneurs to start businesses and
create jobs; helping to protect endangered regional wildlife habitats;
and contributing to many other critical efforts.
The American University of Armenia was founded in 1991 through a
unique partnership with the University of California, the U.S. Agency
