For me AUCA was not only a school of academic learning, it taught me to survive, to strive and finally to achieve. It was not always easy, especially in the beginning, but definitely it was worth it.

There are lots of things that I missed about AUCA, but keeping it in the frame of academic life are conversations with professor Lance Tillman. He is one of the professors who impacted on my critical thinking and always had answers to my questions that most professors would just skip.

MA course is to be opened at the AUCA Department of Psychology in new academic year, which offers an opportunity to receive high quality knowledge and practical skills; moreover it provides students with additional opportunities to show their worth in international professional and academic arena.

As the America writer Napoleon Hill once put it: skills can only be developed with practice, not while reading instructions. All faculty members from the Anthropology Department adhere to the same principle when it comes to teaching. This education method helps better understand theory and program. That is why anthropologist students in AUCA can regularly be spotted on research fields and at various events organized by their own Department.

Today, the president of AUCA Andrew Wachtel and the Chief Information Officer at AUCA Dr. Karim Zerhouni handed over the new universal ID cards to 30 students of the Anthropology department.
