The American University in Dubai and AMIDEAST, the leading American nonprofit organization engaged in international education in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, signed an agreement to promote AUD as a direct-enroll partnership school. This strategic partnership will facilitate the enrollment of US study abroad students at AUD.

“In partnering with AMIDEAST, AUD is proud to now be one of three direct-enroll partnership schools in the MENA region as an option for US university students. AMIDEAST Education Abroad will market AUD to their established network of study abroad advisors and offices at universities and colleges across the US.

A special thank you to the Study Abroad & Exchange Unit in handling all of the initial discussions, negotiations and final agreement. This represents a significant milestone event for AUD. While AMIDEAST Education Abroad will begin marketing AUD as part of their direct enroll portfolio to all US universities and colleges immediately, we anticipate that the majority of inbound US study abroad students will be enrolling at AUD for spring 2022.”  Dr. David A. Schmidt, AUD President
