About the Office

The International Programs and Services Office (IPSO) is the central hub for international education activities at The American University in Cairo (AUC). In support of AUC’s commitment to cultivate a diverse campus community that thrives on the exchange of ideas and perspectives, IPSO:

• Supports both AUC degree-seeking students interested in studying abroad and visiting international students who wish to study abroad in Cairo. 
• Serves as the primary point of contact for international students on campus.
• Develops customized short-term programs to engage faculty and students; and
• Establishes and manages international partnerships between AUC and universities abroad.

Our Vision

To become a vital resource for AUC community members - both local and international - so they can develop a global outlook while strengthening their academic endeavors. 

Our Mission

To foster cross-cultural understanding by facilitating international engagement activities for students and faculty at home and abroad.
