The American University of Florida (AUF) is embarking on a transformative phase of enhancement and expansion, marked by a dynamic new leadership team composed of recognized experts in their fields. The university has recruited a top-tier, internationally recognized faculty, comprised of esteemed academicians and industry professionals who are deeply committed to higher learning and student success.
AUF’s forward momentum is further exemplified by the introduction of several cutting-edge initiatives aligned with today’s educational landscape. These include an expanded array of undergraduate and graduate programs, the launch of professional doctoral degrees, increased interactivity among program participants, and the establishment of stronger global affiliations and collaborative partnerships. The university is also enhancing its support systems across all departments, broadening delivery models, and creating learning, study, and media centers in various global regions, all reflecting its unwavering commitment to academic excellence.
In line with its strategic vision, AUF has designed outreach initiatives to ensure that its programs are accessible to a diverse, global student population with a passion for higher learning. The university’s comprehensive support system is dedicated to fostering student success and enriching the university experience.
Further demonstrating AUF’s dedication to academic innovation, the university has recently launched several new initiatives. These include the American University of Florida Monograph Series, registered with the US Library of Congress; the founding of a new journal, Virtualities: International Review of Distance Learning (ISSN: 1941-7373); the initiation of an annual symposium series on advances in e-learning; the recognition of Provostial Fellows for outstanding achievement and potential; the creation of a special scholarship program; and enhanced accessibility across divisions. These initiatives underscore AUF’s commitment to maintaining high standards, accelerating progress, and offering top-tier programs through the most advanced and effective delivery methods.
The curriculum is marked by many distinctions, among them, a powerful commitment to communicative competence and to applied critical thinking (underscored in all courses, in all disciplines, at all levels) and a special emphasis on integrated global perspectives.
As a consequence of such diversity and cross-national emphasis, we become an enriched, value-added repository for expanded learning, wherein global perspectives and multi-cultural exchange flourish.
In and by our difference, we stand apart: distinctive in quality, devoted to the individual learner, contemporary in content and presentation, attuned to the issues of the day and to the needs of prospective students worldwide, seeking always to set each program participant on an intellectual journey into the future, yet committed unrelentingly to the core values that have always underpinned, and continue to underpin, the fundamentals of higher education.
