American University

Graduate students choose American University for a number of reasons - among them, the world-renowned faculty composed of academics and real world practitioners, its location inside the Nation's Capital, its many well-regarded academic programs, graduating the most public servants in the nation, and many more. American University, a Carnegie-classified higher research university, is deeply committed to creating knowledge, including creative and professional activity, in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and the professions. We strongly support research by our students and faculty. Known as a college-centered research university, AU values scholar-teachers who are fully engaged both in research and in undergraduate and graduate teaching, which means that our most distinguished and accomplished scholars are connecting with students inside the classroom as well as through their research.
