AUCA STUDY ABROAD

As one of the leading institutions in Central Asia, AUCA maintains partnerships with a number of other prestigious universities in the US, Europe and Asia. Such cooperation provides the students with an opportunity to immerse themselves in an interesting culture, learn a new language, and experience student life in a different university.

Our partnership with Bard College allows ten students per semester to travel to the United States.  In addition, AUCA students regularly study at our partner universities in Germany, Turkey and South Korea.

Admission:

Sophomores and juniors with good academic standing and a minimum GPA of 3.0 are eligible to participate in a study abroad program. Each semester AUCA will nominate students to participate in the exchange program. In order to be considered for a nomination, interested students should submit the following documents to the Advising and Career Services office: 

• Statement of Purpose
• Resume
• Two recommendation letters from professors
• Transcript 

Once the applications are reviewed, two students will be nominated for a specific exchange program. 

Students interested in spending a semester at Bard College should complete and submit the application form with an official transcript. Final decisions will be made jointly by an AUCA-Bard selection committee. If you have questions regarding the Bard College exchange program, you should contact Emir Kulov at kulov_e@mail.auca.kg.  

Tuition and fees:

While partaking in an exchange program, the student is subject to the tuition fees of their home university. The student is responsible for all other expenses, such as Room and Board, insurance, visa and travel costs, etc.



Credit transfer:

Generally, study abroad credits are transferred as “General credits” or “Electives”. In order to count credits towards your major you need to first consult with your academic advisor and department chair. AUCA will consider you credits only if you received a grade “C” or higher. Your study abroad grades will not be calculated into your GPA at AUCA.
