American and European accreditation ensures that your degree from AAU is recognized around the world.
Anglo-American University is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), 985 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 100, Alameda, CA 94501, USA, +1 510 748 9001. WSCUC is one of six official regional American accrediting associations in the United States recognized by the U.S. Department of Education which evaluates public and private senior colleges and universities in the western part of the United States.
Among the nearly 200 universities which WSCUC accredits are, for example, such prestigious schools as Stanford University, the University of California Berkeley, the California Institute of Technology, the University of California-Los Angeles, the University of Southern California, and Chapman University. In addition, WSCUC has accredited twelve select foreign universities, including AAU – the only university in Europe to have received this prestigious accreditation. This means AAU graduates receive a university degree that is recognized worldwide as meeting the same rigorous academic standards that leading universities in the United States are subject to. In other words, earning a WSCUC-accredited degree means that your diploma will be recognized in the USA and the transferability of credits to the USA is much simpler.
In addition to AAU’s U.S. accreditation, most of AAU’s programs are accredited by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic, or else are offered in cooperation with international partners.
AAU’s MBA program, which is offered in cooperation with Chapman University in California, is globally accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the gold standard of business school accreditation.
AAU’s Certificate of Higher Education in Common Law (CertHE Common Law), as well as the LLB and LLM programs are offered in cooperation with the University of London. WSCUC accreditation does not apply to these programs. The John H. Carey II School of Law is a Registered Centre for the University of London International Programmes whereby the quality of legal instruction offers at AAU is backed by and formally recognized by the integrity of the University of London Law Consortium.
With AAU’s campus situated in the magnificently restored, 17th-century baroque Thurn-Taxis Palace right under the Prague Castle in the historic district of Malá Strana, AAU boasts one of the most attractive locations of any Central European university. The palace offers 16 modern fully-equipped classrooms, a computer lab and a visual arts studio along with a café, spacious courtyard, and modern student lounges that students can take advantage of for studying and socializing. Located next to the palace and directly accessible from the campus are the Vojan Gardens, a beautiful and spacious park.
