American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina in Tuzla

The American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina (abbr. AUBiH) was a private university located in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.


Staff

The lecturing staff were mainly domestic teachers with many guest lecturers and American staff.[2]

As part of the now-defunct partnership agreement with State University of New York at Canton (SUNY), some students from AUBIH received double diplomas (both from the US and Bosnia & Herzegovina) and attended one semester in USA. Through this partnership, some students had opportunities for work placement with leading US companies such as Xerox, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson and Kodak.[3]

The President and founder of American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina was Denis Prcić, an entrepreneur from Tuzla who lived in Rochester, New York in the 1990s.[4][5]

Academics

In 2007, the university opened a postgraduate department in Sarajevo, offering a fast-track master's degree in business administration (MBA). In 2009, it opened an undergraduate department in Banja Luka.[6] In 2011, the AUBIH opened an undergraduate department in Mostar.[7]

The University was organized around the following colleges:

  • Faculty of Economics[8]
  • Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology[9]
  • Faculty of Public Affairs[10]
  • Academy of Modern Arts[11]

The university offered degrees in law, economics, international relations, cyber security and engineering
