Let us be clear:
AUW is a university rooted in knowledge for service,
driven by the imperatives of change.
AUW is not a place where women go to retreat from the realities of the world or the needs of their community.
It is a place of study, contemplation, and deliberate engagement.
Our graduates welcome the challenge of promoting cross-cultural tolerance in places where ethnic strife stunts economic development and political progress.
Our students and graduates actively seek opportunities to revitalize their community through improved education, healthcare, and environmental conservation.
Our students are taught from their very first day that they are expected to be ethical, innovative leaders, and that such leaders do not turn away from struggle, sacrifice, or human suffering.
85% of AUW alumnae work in their home country. They have the skills to get a job anywhere in the world, but they elect to go where they are needed most — their own communities.
1000+ Graduates from 17 Countries
20% Pursue Graduate School & 80% Return to Home Country
60+ Alumnae Supporting Refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh
10M+ People Provided Education & Healthcare by AUW Graduates
