• The only university in Cambodia that provides American style education in a state-of-the-art campus with modern facilities to promote students’ academic life and personal development.
• Dual Degree options to University of Arizona and Fort Hayes State University in select majors—study locally and graduate with a degree from a U.S. institution, at special AUPP tuition rates (when compared to U.S. tuition).
• The majority of AUPP faculty hold doctoral degrees in their field and many are highly experienced in teaching at university in the U.S. and around the world.
• Our two-year general education curriculum is recognized by many universities. Much like the students in the US, AUPP students engage in a general education program consisting of courses that increase the well-roundedness of our students. These courses are likely to be recognized across the US, regardless of the students’ majors, due to the similarities in general education practices and may be helpful in facilitating student transfers to complete an undergraduate degree in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere.

Upon graduation, many students successfully apply to postgraduate (Masters and Doctoral) programs in universities around the world, or are employed by good companies with strong salaries, or are ready to start their own businesses.

• Degrees: Students enrolled in the Dual degree program will receive two degrees upon graduation. One of the degrees is from American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) and the other degree is from our partner university (University of Arizona [UA] or Fort Hays State University [FHSU]). Both degrees have the same level of recognition.
• Tuition fees: A Dual degree program costs $9,000 per year while Single degree costs $6,000 per year.
• Our Dual Degree programs of study are:
  • Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (with University of Arizona)
  • Bachelor of Arts in Law (with University of Arizona)
  • Bachelor of Science in Information Technology Management (with Fort Hays State University)

Once enrolled into the UA or FHSU dual degree program, AUPP students have the same status as UA or FHSU students.

Dual degree students have access to:

• Study resources: Students who are enrolled and admitted into our dual degree programs have access to the same support services as any other student enrolled at the partner university (UA or FHSU). These include e-library resources, academic and career counseling, student information and records, and all other student activities.
• Transfer credits and exchanges: UA and FSHU both offer exchange programs for one or more semesters, with credits earned transferred automatically to AUPP. Students also have the option to study at AUPP for the first two years and then finish their degree at UA or FHSU in the U.S., and all their credits earned at AUPP will be fully transferred.

Upon graduation, dual degree students are well prepared to take up new challenges.

• At graduation, dual degree students have the option to attend graduation ceremonies and receive their degrees at UA or FHSU campuses and walk with other graduates of UA and FHSU in the United States.
• Both our UA and FHSU dual degrees are accredited by the Higher Learning commission (HLC) and are international degrees accepted in any country around the world. UA is one of the top universities in the U.S. and is widely recognized globally. With these degrees, students have no problem enrolling into post-graduate student for Master’s or Doctoral degrees.

Alternatively, the EPT may be waived if you can provide proof of English level proficiency via a score of 6.0 or higher on IELTS or 79 or higher on TOEFL to be eligible to enroll in Year 1 at AUPP.  If your EPT is waived, you will be required to submit an Elevator Pitch video.  To  learn more, visit: Admission Criteria Page

After taking the English Placement Test, the results will indicate the level of the student’ English skills. There are Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, or Collegiate level.

• If the students’ results indicate that they are at Level 2, they may be required to take at least three semesters of our English Preparatory Program (EPP).
• If the students are at Level 3, they may be required to take at least two semesters of EPP.
• If the students are at Level 4, they must take at least one semester of EPP.
• If the students are at the Collegiate level, they can enroll in Year 1 directly.

Each semester is 4 months long and there are three semesters within one year.

At every level, students must pass a standardized exam to go to the next level. Students may skip a level depending on their English skills and with a recommendation from their faculty.

*Note: Your study at each Level of EPP is equivalent to the study at Australian Center of Education (ACE) for one year. In addition, our EPP faculty are specifically trained and certified to teach at the university level.

All students are also required to complete an Internship in the summer of Year 3 of their program of study. See Internships Section .
