Global Affiliations

Global Affiliations: 

Over its history, AUI has worked to develop a range of affiliations around the world in order to support its mission. Some of the most productive of these affiliations originated from memberships to higher education institution networks that value global orientation. Formal affiliations, or partnerships, emerge through jointly signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) or agreements for collaboration and cooperation between institutions based on intent. The various avenues through which AUI interacts with other institutions provide a network of solid, working affiliations for students, faculty, and staff at the University.

The clickable map below demonstrates the broad range of relationships that AUI has.  These range from more broad commitments to collaboration to student exchange or specific programs for research, capacity building, etc.  

In terms of student programs, not every institution indicated is available in a given semester and many of the exchange programs are negotiated each year based on an equal exchange of students coming and going from each institution.  Other study abroad programs are open to all qualified students.  For more information about study abroad, contact a study abroad advisor in the Office of International Programs:   This email address is being protected from spambots.

Faculty members are encouraged to maintain and reestablish their existing connections with colleagues around the world. They are also encouraged to develop new working and information-sharing relationships with other faculty members around the world either directly or through networks or memberships in academic or professional associations. Any real plan to cooperate and collaborate on a project requiring university resources should be discussed with your Dean and then the Office of International Programs. 

For more information about this database, MoUs, or how institutions of higher education communicate to formalize relations, please contact the Director of the Office of International Programs.
