Study abroad at Auburn

Auburn is widely celebrated as 'The Loveliest Village on the Plains' and one of the quintessential top-rated college towns in the United States, located in eastern Alabama just 1.5 hours southwest of Atlanta. Famous for its passionate 'War Eagle' collegiate tradition, Toomer's Corner, oak-shaded historic avenues, and high quality of life, Auburn is home to Auburn University (AU - founded in 1856, premier flagship R1 Doctoral Research Land-grant university with over 32,000 students, alma mater of Apple CEO Tim Cook and numerous NASA astronauts). Auburn is internationally recognized for its Samuel Ginn College of Engineering (the premier engineering school in the Southeast with state-of-the-art additive manufacturing, aerospace, and cybersecurity research), Harbert College of Business (nationally ranked for Supply Chain Management and Business Analytics), College of Agriculture, and College of Veterinary Medicine. Degrees are taught 100% in English with prestigious US accreditations (AACSB, ABET, SACSCOC). International students benefit from an extremely safe community, free Tiger Transit bus network, low living costs, and direct F-1 / I-20 Student Visa support.
