Welcome to the Dartmouth College-American University of Kuwait Project. We are two institutions on opposite sides of the world that share a common purpose: to create a superlative liberal arts experience for students who will make a difference in the world.
The American University of Kuwait (AUK) is Kuwait's first private liberal arts university. Based on the American model of higher education, it asked Dartmouth to be its partner institution in 2003. Through a range of advisory and collaborative projects involving faculty, students, and staff in New Hampshire and in Kuwait, AUK uses Dartmouth's focus on undergraduate liberal arts education as its model. In turn, Dartmouth has the opportunity to help build a university "from the ground up," and to be in the vanguard of institutions working with new universities in the Middle East.
The list of collaborative activities that Dartmouth and AUK share grows longer each day. Visit our website often to find out what's new.
