ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The creation of the Environmental Management and Sustainable Development program was prompted by Central Asia’s need for environmental experts and AUCA’s mission to support the region’s transition to a development path that balances social, economic and environmental interests. This program perfectly fits the university’s mission of training enlightened and impassioned leaders, who think globally and act this out locally in the specific conditions of Central Asia.

Admissions

Applicants to the Bachelor programs are expected to hold high-school certificates. Admission takes place through the entrance exams: an English test, an Essay, and a Math test. We also accept official scores for TOEFL/IELTS and SAT/ACT instead of our entrance exams.
