SO MUCH MORE THAN A DEGREE

 

Your Story.

Learn more about yourself, the world around you, how you relate to others, and your beliefs. Explore how you fit into the world while getting a world-class degree. Students at AU can use what they are learning in their chosen field of study all while pursuing their best selves to do good work in the world.

We believe understanding ourselves helps us make sense of the complicated parts of ourselves and it helps us move through the world better. It helps us learn how to resolve problems and be resilient. It makes us empathetic and stronger humans.

 

Real Life.

We want you to come as you are and become who you are meant to be. Real life doesn’t mean thinking one specific way — if it did that would be boring and limiting. We want you to be the real you and join our community in seeking truth and becoming your best self. Over the years, we have found that being intentional that honesty and self-awareness help us each be a little more alive and whole people. 

 

Together. Home.

At AU, we are our best when we are striving for growth, curiosity, truth, and excellence. When you come here, you can find a home away from home. Build important relationships and learn how extraordinary civil discourse is when we come together to build each up and not tear each other down. Where we aren’t afraid of differences, and instead celebrate how uniquely God made us. 

As Ravens, we continuously choose supporting one another over undermining each other. We prioritize things like the greater good, conversations based on understanding, respecting differences, and moving forward. That is what it looks like to live out the golden rule: Love God. Love Others. This is what makes AU extraordinary. #AUisGOLDEN
