Student Handbook

Introduction

The establishment of the American University of Madaba (AUM) in Jordan is intended to serve as a landmark for Jordan. AUM is a not-for–profit World Class institution that will distinguish itself academically, socially and culturally by contributing positively to the intellectual and professional human capital of Jordan and the region.

AUM was established with the intention of making a difference in higher education at the national and regional levels, placing quality education, multifaceted student growth and faculty excellence at the top of its priorities. The University received its license in 2005, and later, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, during His pontifical pilgrimage and pastoral visit to Jordan on May 9, 2009, blessed the corner stone of the University.
