The American University Programs (AUP) at PATHE Global Campus is the best choice for your future for one simple reason – the program prepares you for higher earnings and better careers. How do they know this? Well, Cleary University (USA) has been preparing students for success for over 130 years – since 1883. They are the oldest university offering an American degree in Sri Lanka, and their history and tradition of excellence combined with their bold, innovative modern approach is the guarantee of success.

America remains the world’s No. 1 destination for international students and the world’s top economy. International students in the US have topped one million in recent years, including more than 40,000 students from the UK, Australia, and Canada. Why? Because of the quality and pedagogical methods of American education. American education is career-oriented, interactive, and based on continual assessment, not rote memorisation and exams. With AUP, this education is now in Sri Lanka under strict American supervision.

The American economy leads the world, and this is due in no small part to American business practices and knowledge. As an AUP graduate, you will also be prepared to succeed locally or globally. 

Students complete studies in an area of business specialisation and also receive their American Bachelor of Business Administration in Management. The business specialisation gives them an employment qualification in a field of business of their choice and the Management Degree prepares them for rapid promotion and career advancement. 

AUP students enjoy great flexibility in their program. They can complete their entire program in Sri Lanka or they can get a transfer to the US at any point during their studies. 

The best path is for students to finish their BBA in Sri Lanka and then continue with Cleary University in the USA for their MBA. Cleary University offers a unique MBA with a choice of three concentrations and paid career experience as part of the curriculum. 

AUP students can even complete up to three of their MBA subjects in Sri Lanka, saving up to $ 10,000 in tuition and living expenses.

The AUP lower cost does not mean lower quality. As the program is monitored by an American Program Director, students receive the same quality education they would in the USA. A unique hybrid program structure ensures students have real American exposure and interaction. Supplementary activities and program enhancements, including local and regional business activities, means students are prepared for business success in the real world.

The AUP is supervised by an American Program Director, so quality of an international standard is assured. Students also receive personal internationalised Career Coaching to prepare them for top jobs and great careers globally.
