🏫 About American University in Dubai

The School of Business Administration at AUD is AACSB accredited, providing the Master of Business Administration MBA - a world-class graduate qualification for graduates who aspire to leadership and management roles within the business administration fields.

All of our University programs have been formally accredited by regional and global independent bodies, to allow us to offer recognized, undergraduate and graduate degrees. In its essence, AUD is a learning community. This is most noticeably manifested in the aspirations of two principal constituencies – students and faculty. Students seek to learn through the acquisition of knowledge and skill. Exposure to human, cultural and experiential diversity plays a crucial role in this acquisition process. Many avenues are open to faculty for learning, including their own scholarly and creative activity. Contributing to knowledge via this activity helps faculty fulfill their most important commitment; that is, imparting knowledge to the students they teach and mentor.
