Welcome, Parents

At AUBG, we understand that choosing a university is a significant decision not just for students, but also for their families. We are committed to providing you with the information and support you need to help your child make the best choice for their future.

Why AUBG

AUBG offers American liberal arts education, accredited in the U.S. and EU, that equips students with critical thinking, adaptability, and a global perspective. Our alumni work at top companies, start their own businesses, or continue their education at leading universities like Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford.

Academic Excellence

AUBG provides a rigorous liberal arts education with a U.S. and EU-accredited diploma, preparing students for global careers and top graduate programs.

  • AUBG holds a unique position as one of the few universities accredited both in the United States and Europe. It is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)—the same body that accredits top institutions like Harvard, MIT, and Yale—and by the National Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation of Bulgaria.

  • Students have the flexibility to combine up to two majors and two minors at no additional tuition cost, allowing them to tailor their education to their passions and career goals. This unique opportunity ensures they graduate with a diverse skill set, making them highly competitive in the job market.

    Bachelor’s Degrees

  • The liberal arts model is an interdisciplinary approach to education that emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability across multiple fields of study. Instead of focusing on a single subject, students explore a broad range of disciplines, including humanities, sciences, and social sciences, while specializing in their chosen major. This model fosters intellectual curiosity, creativity, and strong communication skills, preparing graduates to excel in diverse careers and adapt to an ever-changing world. With the ability to combine up to two majors and two minors at no extra cost, AUBG students graduate with a broad skill set, strong leadership abilities, and the confidence to thrive in top companies, launch their own ventures, or pursue advanced degrees at world-renowned universities.

  • With over 30 student clubs, AUBG offers endless opportunities for students to explore their passions, develop leadership skills, and connect with like-minded peers. Whether they’re interested in sports, arts, business, media, social activism, or technology, students can participate in clubs that enhance their skills and expand their networks. Annual events, competitions, and cultural celebrations make campus life dynamic and engaging.

  • AUBG provides personalized academic advising to help students navigate their studies and make the most of their education. Faculty advisors guide students in selecting majors, minors, and courses that align with their academic goals. Students also have access to tutoring, mentorship programs, and learning resources to ensure they succeed academically.

  • AUBG is dedicated to helping students transition from university to the professional world. Our Career Center connects students with internships, job placements, and networking opportunities with top employers and alumni worldwide. Career counseling, resume workshops, and interview preparation sessions equip students with the skills needed to stand out in the job market.

  • The Health & Well-being Center provides medical services, mental health counseling, and wellness programs, ensuring that students have access to the support they need. AUBG prioritizes the well-being of its students, offering a caring and confidential environment to help them stay healthy and focused.
