I teach at an international high school, and one of my students is looking at going to the AUS this fall.

She wants to either get a four year degree in International Relations OR go there for a year and transfer to a college in the US or Canada. I know that the school has a decent reputation among English teachers, but I don't know about the quality of the four year degrees there.

Are the courses challenging? Will she be able to transfer credits to other colleges in the US or Canada? If you were a parent, would you pay for your child to study there?

If anyone knows about the school and its courses, could you please comment.

Hi again,

I'll answer here too... AUS is accredited in the US and most courses should transfer with little problem. Especially first and second year courses...

Quite a few students start at places like AUS or AUC or AUB for the first two years and then transfer to North American institutions for their final two years.
