Ushering in a New Era

Today, the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) remains a beacon of hope for a new generation of young Afghans who wrestle with a new set of political and social realities yet remain ambitious and fervent to lead change in their own country and society.

Three Tiers to Success

AUAF’s adaptive and innovative online education prepares, fosters, and advances thousands of Afghan students; a generation of young Afghan leaders determined to lead change within their country.

Tier 1

Prepare

Afghanistan is the only country in the world today that officially restricts access to education for women above the 6th grade. AUAF expanded its preparatory programs to bridge the growing divide between secondary and higher education, and reposition young Afghans back on their educational journey.

Tier 2

Foster

AUAF’s high-touch, high-quality American-style education fosters an environment conducive to leadership, agency, civic ideals, and economic advancement. Students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to define their individual and collective futures through a holistic education, including wrap-around services, such as wellness programs and extracurricular activities.

Tier 3

Advance

AUAF supports its graduates in achieving success across academic, private, and public sectors, providing guidance and resources as they advance in their careers and contribute to their fields.
