You will not see such a unique event as the AUCA orientation program at any Central Asian university. It started as a week-long team-building event for freshmen and evolved into a two-week program combining team-building and preparation for freshmen!

Dear AUCA students, faculty, and staff, I am delighted to extend my heartfelt congratulations as we commence a new academic year at one of the leading universities in Central Asia. 

The second day of the Orientation Program 2024 at the AUCA was marked by the exhilarating and colorful event known as AUCA-Graphy.

The Orientation Program 2024 at the AUCA commenced on Monday, August 12th, marking the beginning of an exciting journey for freshmen and the entire AUCA community.

My name is Firdavs Inomzoda, and I graduated from the Anthropology and International Development Department at the American University of Central Asia (AUCA) in 2024.
I decided to participate in the Open Society University Network’s (OSUN) student mobility exchange program at Bard College Berlin to broaden my academic and cultural perspectives.

In Bishkek, the project "Promoting Energy and Resource Efficiency in the Tourism Sector of Kyrgyzstan" held its final forum, “Sustainable Tourism in Kyrgyzstan: key findings of the PERETO project.”
The forum’s goal was to summarize the four years of work of the PERETO project, discuss the achieved results, and review future strategies for energy and resource efficiency in Kyrgyzstan's tourism sector.

Every year, students from different countries come to AUCA through exchange programs. One of the courses they study is Russian. We asked some of them about their success in learning the language.
