The agreement was signed virtually today by Ambassador Theodore H. Kattouf, the president and CEO of Amideast, and Dr. David A. Schmidt, the president of AUD.

This exciting collaboration creates more opportunities for students of diverse academic majors to be part of a vibrant international living and learning community in the MENA region. AUD is accredited in both the United States and the UAE and recognized globally for the international diversity of both its faculty and student body. More than 105 nationalities are represented on AUD's state-of-the-art campus in Dubai Media City, comprising a rich academic and residential living community.
With ABET, AACSB, NAAB and numerous other accreditations, AUD's many schools and departments allow students from a wide variety of academic majors to engage their disciplines with professors and peers from around the world in a MENA region context famous for its global connectivity.
