Why study in Rome instead of the USA?

Reclaim your education.  

Study in a place where open minds, not loud voices, set the tone. 

While U.S. campuses become ideological battlegrounds, there’s a quiet revolution happening as students in search of a real education vote with their feet. At The American University of Rome, a liberal arts education is still about questioning boldly, thinking freely, and engaging respectfully. 

You don’t need to pick a side here, you just need a curious, open mind and a belief in the value of dialogue.

Culture - without the Culture Wars! Education without the echo chamber.

100% English-Taught Education

Just like top US universities, AUR offers a fully English-speaking academic environment, with small, discussion-based classes led by international faculty.

Education in the US has become a battlefield.
