Outgoing Study Abroad
The American University in Cairo is proud to be part of a longstanding and deep commitment to international education to help students become active leaders and conscientious members of an increasingly global society.
The Office of International Programs and Services (IPSO) administers the announcement, recruitment, and selection of AUC students for exchange opportunities, provided in light of the University agreements with partner universities across the globe. Through this program, we aim to add to the students' academic and professional experience. We also hope to send students who can represent AUC abroad, and bring back valuable experiences to our campus, which will eventually promote the internationalization of AUC.
Our students are driven to explore the world, and AUC’s ambitious study-abroad program makes that happen.

Hear From Our Students
I am pleased I spent a semester in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Edinburgh. I had the opportunity to learn a lot, make friends from all over the world and get exposed to a variety of cultures, which were essential for my overall development as a global citizen.
Getting my semester abroad opportunity at Hamline University in the United States was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I got to be the first AUCian and Egyptian to go there, where I found a number of various classes, activities and friends who made my time there memorable and beneficial for my career and personal life.
My exchange experience at the University of Rochester was beyond amazing, to say the least. It felt like being a freshman again, unworried about academic pressures, all open to enjoying the college diversity, the city charm and the captivating nature. I loved the diversity of backgrounds on campus, the field trips to local museums and national parks, and the fruitful involvement in student activities.
