SOE Presents:

Virtual Open Houses

Raise your hand to make education work for everyone!

Attend our free virtual open house and learn more about American University's programs. The US educational system needs innovation. With national policies directing resources away from institutions and students in need, schools and educational organizations, large and small, have a pressing need for driven professionals who can enact systemic reforms that will reinvigorate the American educational system.

We’ll be discussing how AU can prepare you for a career and the skills you can learn through our program. Have any questions about our programs? Looking for deadline information? We’ve got the answers.

Attend our free webinar, and you could have your application fee waived. We hope to see you soon!
