IAU College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IAU (IAU, French: Institut Américain Universitaire) is an American institution of higher learning situated in southern France.[1] Its main campus is located in Aix-en-Provence, France, and it operates satellite programs in Spain, Morocco, and the United Kingdom. Established in 1957, IAU was known to be among the earliest American-style, English language, liberal arts educational institutions in Western Europe.[2] The institute holds a charter from the Regents of the State University of New York and is recognized by both the Rectorat of Aix-Marseille University and the French Ministry of Education as a private higher education institution. IAU is known for a large presence of study abroad programs in Europe and for an option to offer study abroad options beyond French language studies.[3][4] In 2015, IAU introduced master's and bachelor's degree programs through its sister institution, the American College of the Mediterranean (ACM).[5]
