Science & Master of Science

We offer a world-class education that will prepare you to succeed in your career, wherever it takes you. By the time you graduate from AUI, you will be able to work in three languages: English, French, and Arabic. Our students interact closely with faculty who have a broad variety of recognized research and international experience. Through AUI’s small classes, many projects, and emphasis on communication skills, you will be technically proficient, socially responsible, and possess the high ethical character and entrepreneurial spirit expected of tomorrow’s leading professionals. Your degree from SSE prepares you for graduate studies as well as professional practice. Employers seek out our students for permanent employment, internships, conventions de stage, and capstone design. AUI students learn to work collaboratively in teams, manage projects, and apply what they learn in the classroom. They take advantage of opportunities to learn abroad and gain better cultural understanding and gain wider perspectives. Our students understand the detail as well as the big picture. SSE graduates work in Morocco and in countries around the globe. Our graduates frequently pursue advanced degrees. Many pursue masters degrees, and a good number have completed their doctorates at prestigious international universities. There is much more information on the SSE webpages, so please browse!

The combined BS/MS programs allow qualified AUI students in the SSE to earn both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in a minimum of five years. This option permits a student to take graduate courses while completing undergraduate requirements. In addition, it waives the requirement for the undergraduate Capstone Design Project in favor of the graduate Master’s Project and up to 6 SCH of free elective undergraduate courses. The combined BS/MS program is designed to provide the student, through a broad base of study and specific concentration courses, with a solid foundation in core areas and an in-depth expertise in one advanced area.
