Graduate Studies | Why AU?

Graduate students choose American University for a number of reasons - among them, the world-renowned faculty composed of academics and real world practitioners, its location inside the Nation's Capital, its many well-regarded academic programs, its status as the "most politically active" university in the United States, graduating the most public servants in the nation, and many more.
