THE AUA MISSION
As an institution of higher learning, the American University
of Armenia provides teaching, research, and service programs that prepare
students to address the needs of Armenia and the surrounding region for
sustainable development, in a setting that values and develops academic
excellence, free inquiry, scholarship, leadership, and service to
society.
President's Message
The idea of an American style
graduate university in Armenia was developed at one of the bleakest moments of
the history of Armenia, following the 1988 earthquake that resulted in an
unprecedented level of destruction and casualties in recent memory. However,
with the establishment of this University a moment of adversity was turned by
its founders into positive achievement. The small group of people that planned
AUA were agents of change who were able to see the historical opportunity to
affect the lives of a large number of people.
The establishment and
development of a University, outside the United States, based on the American
model, was not an accident. The American higher educational system provides an
approach that can help train the type of expertise Armenia and the region need
to make the appropriate economic and social-developmental transitions at the
start of the new millennium.
As primarily a graduate university, AUA is
involved not only in imparting knowledge but also in developing actively new
knowledge through research. The university is a direct participant in the
sustainable long-term development of Armenia and its regions. Our Research
Centers provide a venue through which students and faculty participate in that
development.
The University provides an environment that encourages
academic excellence, freedom of inquiry, personal integrity, and a concern for
societal issues. As the educational programs evolve over the next few years, we
hope to achieve more multi-disciplinary integration that helps develop the
person beyond narrow technical expertise.
The students at AUA have a
personal responsibility for their education. During their education, students
have the opportunity to develop critical thinking and analytic reasoning as well
as problem solving skills. These are some of the challenges that the new
students have to face at AUA. This catalog is a window that the University opens
on itself for those interested in the institution. It provides information about
the programs, philosophy, people, and various rules that the University has
established. However, we have to be aware that the University is a very active
and dynamic system. There is a constant and lively pace of change at the
American University of Armenia and what is presented in this catalog provides
only a snapshot about the University at a fixed point in time. The AUA website
at http://www.aua.am is yet another source that, we hope, will continuously
provide the most recent and up-to-date information about the
University.
This is a higher educational institution that has been
evolving at a number of levels. The challenges that the founders of AUA set
forth for AUA will continue to be met on a daily basis by its faculty, staff,
students, and alumni.
