AUM is a Unique Opportunity…

AUM is accredited by the Jordanian Higher Education Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (HEAC-QA), and has been authorized to grant degrees for all eighteen programs by the New Hampshire Higher Education Commission (NHHEC) in USA.

Inspired by and built upon the educational legacy of the Latin Patriarchate in Jordan, AUM strives to make a difference in higher education on both the national and regional levels.

Through the unique combination of established excellence and the rich cultural heritage present in Madaba, AUM produces graduates with unique perspectives and capabilities and greater opportunities for future employment. AUM is providing the next generation with the skills they need to lead and the goal of building a stronger Jordanian community.

A license to establish a new university was granted by the Higher Education Council of Jordan in 2005 and the cornerstone of the university was blessed by HH Pope Benedict XVI in 2009. In his blessing the pope confirmed the role of AUM as “a place of understanding and dialogue”. He added that students, while assimilating their own culture, “will be led to a deeper knowledge of human culture achievements, will be enriched by other viewpoints, and [will be] formed in comprehension, tolerance and peace.”

Curriculum development, faculty and staff hiring, and construction had proceeded sufficiently that students could enter for the school year 2011/2012. In recognition of the highly successful beginning of the university, HM King Abdullah II completed the preliminary phase of AUM’s history by formally inaugurating the university on 30 May 2013.
