Discover Armenia with AUA: AUA-UCLA Joint Summer and Study Abroad Programs
YEREVAN, Armenia ` The American University of Armenia (AUA) is excited to
welcome international students to AUA with its Summer Program and Study
Abroad AUA. For those looking to enhance their educational experience,
these programs combine strong academics with the benefits of a safe,
welcoming, and exciting environment.
As AUA students, participants have endless opportunities to take advantage
of. Just this past January, AUA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to launch a new
AUA-UCLA Summer Intensive Program in Armenian Studies. The program will
begin at AUA in the summer of 2015 and feature classes on Armenian
language, culture, and history.
The Summer Program is perfect for those who wish to visit Armenia for the
summer and also earn extra credits at their home university, while Study
Abroad AUA is designed for students who wish to study at AUA for a
semester or even a year.
Participants can choose from a wide range of courses to match their
university academic plans, and because AUA is accredited by the WASC
Senior College and University Commission and affiliated with the
University of California, students can easily transfer summer credits
earned at AUA and apply them toward a degree at another institution.
In addition to the great opportunities on campus, Summer Program and Study
Abroad AUA participants can elect to take their educational experience
outside the boundaries of Yerevan with Discover Armenia Educational Tours.
This series of five day-long excursions allows students to get to know the
country and take in all its sights, sounds, and flavors.
AUA has partnered with Birthright Armenia, opening up additional
opportunities for applicants of Armenian heritage. Students who have been
accepted to the Summer Program or Study Abroad AUA and are interested in
