Aurora University
Office of Admission and Financial Aid

Welcome from Dr. Carol Dunn,
Vice President for Enrollment

Whether you are a high school junior beginning the college search process or an adult wanting to return for an undergraduate or graduate degree, we invite you to explore Aurora University. The university is “an inclusive community dedicated to the transformative power of learning,” according to the mission statement. Learning at AU is truly transformational, leading to self-discovery as well as preparation for the world of work. Through the educational process, you will develop your full potential and grow in ways you never dreamed possible.

At Aurora University, you will connect with faculty who will know you by name. The class size lends itself to lively class discussions. Faculty come to Aurora because of their primary commitment to teaching. You will select from 40 undergraduate majors, eight master’s degrees, and the Ed.D. degree. An academic advisor will work with you as you plan your coursework and think about future employment.

Aurora University’s admission and financial aid staff are committed to working with you to ensure that your education becomes a reality. Freshmen and transfer students work with freshman and transfer counselors who are specially trained to understand their needs. The Center for Adult and Graduate Studies provides an efficient and helpful entry point for adults and graduate students. An AU education is surprisingly affordable, and our financial aid staff works with all AU students to answer questions and provide information about scholarships, grants, loans, and federal work study.

I hope you will get to know our university community better by looking at the various web pages. They are filled with useful information about the people and programs that make up Aurora University. If you’re ready, let’s begin.
