With an American educational system intact, AUE boasts seven colleges of Media and Mass Communication, Business Administration, Law, Fine Arts and Design, Computer Information Technology, Education and security and global studies, which all cater to the current and future needs of all the dominating and niche markets.

Students are able to choose from various specializations, many of which are completely unique to the GCC region and the Middle East as a whole.
