Garnering the support of world-renowned Manipal University, AUA (American University of Antigua) which was founded in 2004 with the mission of addressing the growing shortage of doctors in the United States, has developed into a hub of international education, centered in a recently-built 150,000 sq ft and technologically advanced campus.

American University of Antigua (AUA) College of Medicine is an innovative medical school dedicated to providing a learner-centric education of the highest quality, granting opportunities to underrepresented minorities, fostering a diverse academic community, and ensuring that its graduates develop the skills and attitudes of lifelong learning, compassion, and professionalism

The basic sciences curriculum at AUA consists of two semesters per academic year. This is in line with US medical school programs and, coupled with AUA’s new campus, provides a learning experience unequalled in the Caribbean.
