AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Washington, D.C.
AU is a medium-sized institution that offers the feel of a private liberal arts school as well as the resources of a large research institution. Our students not only experience life on campus but they also take part in internships in the DC area as well as study abroad during their time as undergraduates. 92% of AU grads are gainfully employed and/or are going to graduate school within 6 months of graduation.
