About the Program

Situated at the top of Janiculum, Rome's tallest hill, the American University of Rome (AUR) campus is canopied by lush gardens and has spectacular views of the city, including remnants from the Roman Empire. Campus is within walking distance from the city center and sits right around the corner from the Aurelian Walls, a historic line of city walls that date back to 271 AD which encompass the Seven Hills of Rome (the geographic heart of Ancient Rome). You will have access to libraries, computer facilities, free Wi-Fi, and two relaxing gardens in which to study. The AUR offers many student-run organizations and clubs, athletics, and a campus newspaper. The 16-to-1 faculty ratio and multicultural student body, representing more than 30 nationalities, give you the opportunity to gain an immersive international experience with instruction from both local and international professors.

The American University of Rome is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, an accrediting organization recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, and is licensed by the Department of Education of the State of Delaware to grant associate, bachelor, and master degrees.
