School Description:

Known for its wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs, Aurora University offers its students excellent educational opportunities at an affordable cost. The university's mission statement really gets at the heart of its commitment to students - an inclusive community dedicated to the transformative power of learning.

High quality academic programs foster student success. And learning isn't confined to the classroom. Thanks to Aurora's prime location, internships and clinical placements are plentiful. Two out of four teachers in the Fox Valley are Aurora graduates. The university also is a major provider of accountants, nurses, social workers, and business leaders.

Special opportunities include faculty-led travel/study trips abroad during May Term. The nationally recognized first-year program helps first-year students make the transition to college. Highly motivated freshmen can join the Honors Program. Transfer students and returning adults also attend in record numbers. Summer Session is open to visitors from the community as well as AU students.

Graduate programs in Business, Education, Mathematics, and Social Work complete the academic offerings. Graduate students benefit from cutting-edge curriculum, faculty who are recognized experts in their fields, and the opportunity to study alongside other adult students who are professionals themselves.
