The rest is yours to discover!”
“By studying Business Administration at AU, students will be given multiple opportunities to network and build upon their connections in the business world. AU’s business administration faculty are experts in the field. Rather than just being educated in business, our professors have experienced risk and success in the world of work. From chartered accountants to certified management accountants, presidents of influential organizations and everything in between. Our faculty are experts in the business world, and have practical and working hands-on knowledge which they bring to the classroom on a daily basis.”
“Students studying Computer Science will gain a strong theoretical and practical foundation in the study of algorithms, programming languages, hardware architecture, systems software, application software, and tools. They will also develop a solid foundation in data structure, programming, assembly language programming, computer organization, operating systems, theory, software engineering, and computer networking. Students also have the opportunity to explore their individual interests and take courses in artificial intelligence, human-computer interactions, and web data management among others!”
“This program concentrates on theory, applications, and explorations in current and policy-related issues at the regional, national, and international level. Students will study the roles of governmental, business, and financial institutions, as well as individuals as they interact with to determine the distribution of a country’s total range of goods and services. Courses cover a wide array of topic areas, including environmental economic policies, microeconomics, urban economics, economic development, economics of finance, elementary and statistical methods for economists, among others.”
“AU’s four-year Bachelor of Arts in Finance and Economics is a unique program, different from other university programs found across the province. Their faculty is committed to a hands-on learning experience where students are able to establish a personal relationship with their professors. This fosters a very intimate and interactive learning environment.”
“This program offers two different degrees, tailored to the students’ strengths and interests. The Bachelor of Science (BSc four-year) degree requires students to complete a greater number of biological-based courses compared to the Bachelor of Arts (BA four-year) degree. A psychology degree is really a stepping stone to the next phase of a student’s life. We teach you how to be dedicated, motivated, and to think critically about scientific data, human and non-human behavior, and science in general.”
