Live Q&A With An American University Admissions Officer

Ask American University officers questions about what it takes to get admitted to American, AU's application process, academics, and more.

American University has shut down campus visits and tours due to the coronavirus outbreak, and many families are missing out on the opportunity to learn about the college first hand from admissions staff on campus. Jeremy and Kayla will start the session with an in-depth overview of American, covering topics ranging from admissions to academics to campus life. In the second half of the session, they'll open the floor to an audience Q&A session and answer your questions about AU.
