Because of AUC's unique connection with the United States and Egypt, it is a center for the exchange of ideas among the peoples of the Arab World as well as a link between the West and the Middle East. Students may register for courses such as accounting, archeology, art history, chemistry, Egyptology, history, political science, and sociology although an emphasis is placed on Middle Eastern studies. Students are integrated with regular AUC students and have an excellent opportunity to experience the social interaction of the Middle East. While at AUC, students may complete 13-18 credits each semester, the same as at Penn State. Grades are recorded on each student's transcript.
Exact registration is subject to availability of courses on site.
All courses will be accredited by Penn State. All SCBA students are required to complete the junior core courses at University Park. Within each major, required courses for that major must be taken at University Park. You must exercise caution in selecting courses abroad to be sure that you do not inadvertently register for a course you have already taken at University Park or plan to take at University Park. You cannot earn credit in two locations for the same subject material.
