Welcome to the official page of the American University of Afghanistan. AUAF offers a world-class college education to Afghan men and women.

Since opening in 2006, AUAF has grown from an initial enrollment of 53 students to more than 1,700 full and part time students in 2012. Today it is a thriving academic and intellectual center dedicated to providing Afghans with a world-class education. AUAF offers bachelor’s degrees in business, information technology and computer science, and political science, law and public administration. In the fall 2011 semester, AUAF began offering Afghanistan's premier MBA degree. It is Afghanistan's only not-for-profit, private, and independent university.

AUAF graduates are tremendously talented and uniquely equipped with the skills that companies need to operate effectively in Afghanistan. Take it from reBlue CEO Thomas Kasza.

In August, reBlue offered 15 of AUAF's graduates and seniors a fellowship, challenging them to engineer a solution to the biggest problems facing Afghanistan and fragile states. A panel of investors and subject matter experts joined a Shark-Tank-Style capstone event, where Computer Science graduates demonstrated the technical capabilities of Digital Twin and pitched a platform that improves transaction visibility, digital documentation, reporting, and financial accountability for organizations that operate using local financial networks.

reBlue currently employs five AUAF graduates from the Computer Science program, plus four from Business Administration, and hopes to employ more in the future.

I am honored to join the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) as it celebrates 20 years of educating and empowering Afghan students.

Education has always been deeply important to me, especially the right of Afghan girls and women to learn, dream, and determine their own futures. At a time when so many young women in Afghanistan are being denied that right, this work could not be more important.

On October 14, I will join AUAF in Washington, D.C. for its 20th Anniversary Celebration Benefit at the Embassy of the State of Qatar: an evening celebrating the students, graduates and supporters who have carried this mission forward through two extraordinary decades.

I am proud to lend my voice to this evening and to stand with the students of AUAF.

For those who would like to help make the next chapter possible, sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals and organizations, along with a limited number of individual tickets.

Education Will Prevail. ❤️

Spring 2027 applications for the Masters of Business Administration are open now at www.auaf.edu.af/MBA. Applications completed by October 1, 2026 will receive priority consideration.

The MBA program was introduced over a decade ago and has since prepared students to excel in diverse and rewarding fields both inside and outside Afghanistan. Our graduates work for a variety of businesses, non-profit and educational institutions.

The Masters of Business Administration (MBA) is a two-year graduate degree program that includes courses on Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing and Law. Students complete their MBA with a rigorous capstone project, during which they set up a business or introduce a new product or service to the market. Courses and student life are hosted live and online alongside an array of digital resources, esteemed faculty and world-class instruction.

AUAF’s MBA program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). ACBSP is an internationally recognized accreditation that ensures a high standard of education and boosts graduate employability.

Please note that no scholarships are available to MBA applicants at this time. Admitted students should be prepared to self-fund the entirety of the 2-year program.

Visit our website for more information about the program, tuition, and how to prepare for the application.

Imagine being told you can’t further your education, simply because you are a woman. That is the nightmarish reality many of our applicants face. AUAF’s student survey responses show that enrolling Afghan women in university is a dream and a lifeline.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of my role as a faculty member at AUAF has been working closely with students whose passion for learning and commitment to creating positive change are truly inspiring. Together, we collaborated on several senior projects involving Artificial Intelligence, Web Applications, and Data Science, applying technical knowledge to practical challenges that can improve quality of life. Education is not only about how much or how intensively you teach, but about how effectively you communicate and inspire the next generation who will shape the future of Afghanistan and Central Asia.” - Dr. Umut Tosun

AUAF will never ask for sensitive personal information or money through WhatsApp or social media direct messages.
