American University of Ras Al Khaimah

The American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) is a public non-profit, independent, coeducation institution of higher education that delivers an integrated American-style, undergraduate and graduate education with a strong focus on the local indigenous culture. Over the past three years, the University has developed new academic programs, attracted new faculty and staff, and significantly increased its student enrollment. This rapid change has required an adaptable organizational structure to accommodate the effective and efficient delivery of programs and services. Consequently, in 2013, vice president positions were added. As part of the same process, the Office of International Programs, the Teaching and Learning Center, the Development Office, and the Center for Continuing Education were all established. The new organizational structure also included the creation of four academic schools: the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, the School of Business, and the School of Graduate Studies and Research.
