Welcome to the academic area of the Aurora University Web site. While we know that the total Aurora University experience includes excellent NCAA intercollegiate athletics programs, quality residential and commuter services, and diverse and stimulating campus activities including over 40 university-sponsored student clubs and organizations, the real transformational power of AU is in its strong academic programs. Whether you are interested in the traditional liberal arts like history, psychology, or biology; career oriented undergraduate programs like nursing, social work, business, pre-law, or education; a master’s degree in fields like social work, business, teaching, or recreation administration; or a doctorate in education; you will find a transforming educational experience taught in small classes by master teachers who have dedicated their professional lives to students. I invite you to explore the more than 40 interesting and rewarding academic programs offered at Aurora University and described in this Web site. I am confident that you will find at least one that is right for you.

Please feel free to contact any of the faculty described in these pages. They are always ready to share information about their programs with prospective students. Or, you may contact me and I will provide whatever help I can. Enjoy your visit.

Sincerely,

Andrew P. Manion, Ph.D.
Provost
