The American University in Bulgaria is the first American-style, English language, liberal arts educational institution in Eastern Europe, established in 1991 with the support of the U.S. and Bulgarian governments, the Open Society Institute, and the University of Maine. The lively town of Blagoevgrad in southwest Bulgaria has become a cradle of academic excellence, creativity and cultural diversity.

AUBG is a privately funded, not-for-profit institution, accredited both in the United States and in Bulgaria. Excellent faculty members come from top schools in five continents to create an innovative and real-world learning environment that’s unique in Europe. Across arts, humanities, business and technology, AUBG students are free to choose their own areas of study and set their own curriculum. Nowadays, around 1,100 curious, committed and talented students from over 40 countries come together to live and study in a supportive and secure community and immerse themselves in our first-rate American liberal arts education.
