Anglo American University (AAU)

Anglo-American University (AAU) is a private English-language university in Prague, Czech Republic. It was the country's first private university to offer English as the medium of education when it opened in 1990.

Anglo American University History

Anglo-American University was established in 1990 as the Anglo-American College. The AAU was founded by Jansen Raichl and Vlasta Raichlová, shortly after the collapse of communism. The goal was to establish AAU as a higher education institution that would integrate Central European university traditions with academic ideals from the United States and the United Kingdom. The English name of the college was then changed to university rather than college.

Anglo American University Programs, Courses and Schools

The School of Business Administration, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the School of Law were the first three schools to offer courses at AAU. A School of International Relations and Diplomacy (2006) and a School of Journalism were later established to the university (2010). John H. Carey II, a co-founder and lecturer at the school of law, died in late 2008, and the AAU School of Law was renamed the John H. Carey II School of Law in his honor.

Anglo American University Achievements/ USP

In 2010, AAU became the first university outside of the United States to be invited to seek for Western Association of Schools and Colleges institutional accreditation (WASC). This accreditation was granted in 2016, making AAU Europe's first WASC-accredited university.
