We believe that high quality education doesn’t have to come at a high cost. BAU strives to make high quality education available for everyone.
We put our students in the best position to succeed in their careers/lives by offering degree programs that are in high demand fields and rapidly growing. Additionally, being in the heart of DC, we know our environment, which is why we offer degrees in Politics, Business, and Information Sciences: the three core industries that power DC and the world.
We believe in education without borders! We encourage our students to be global citizens. The international environment on campus enables them to learn about other cultures and discuss global matters with different perspectives in the courses.
BAU is well-connected to the DC Community through our business partnerships, faculty networks, and community service.
The whole city is our campus with easy access to key U.S. agencies, embassies, and leading international institutions (World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Inter-American Development Bank, etc.). Students are not limited to just on-campus events; students can attend numerous cultural events and festivals throughout the year.
