About The City

View Larger Map

The Emirate of Sharjah, with a population of approximately 680,000, is located next to the Emirate of Dubai. It prides itself as the “cultural capital” of the UAE and offers a range of museums, traditional souks (markets), and theaters. Although Sharjah developed rapidly under British rule in the 19th century, it has maintained its traditional Muslim values while developing its regional trade relationships. Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammad al-Qassimi has ruled Sharjah since 1972. A mere 40 minutes from Dubai and its high-paced, cosmopolitan lifestyle, Sharjah provides a comfortable and relatively quiet environment for exploring Gulf culture.

Meet The Staff

Miranda Battenburg

Miranda Battenburg received her B.S. and M.B.A. degrees from California Polytechnic State University. She worked with the British Council on educational programs in Saudi Arabia and possesses more than 12 years of experience in Marketing and Business Management. She has lived and worked in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, and the United States and possess an understanding of the educational system, business models and cultures in the U.S., UK, Middle East, the Gulf region, and North Africa. A native of Egypt and having lived in Saudi Arabia for more than18 years, Miranda is fluent in Arabic, including regional dialects of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Najid, Sudan, the Gulf countries, and Iraq.

Where You'll Study

The American University of Sharjah was founded in 1997 and was designed to combine an American-style education with the traditional values and modern aspirations of the UAE and the Gulf region. The University enrolls approximately 5,200 students from 80 nations. Approximately 20% of the students are native Emirati, and more than 75% of the total student body is from Arab nations. The University faculty has been drawn from more than 45 countries. The campus includes 12 student residential halls as well as a large sports complex and a student center. Approximately 40% of the student body lives in campus housing.

Housing & Meals

Housing is included in the study abroad program fee. Students share double rooms in AUS on-campus residence halls. Residence hall facilities are gender segregated, although women and men may interact freely in most other buildings on campus. Most rooms include a small kitchenette and bathroom facilities. Each residence hall also offers shared kitchens, computer labs, exercise rooms, and other common rooms.

Meals are not included in the program fee and are the responsibility of the student. Meals may be prepared in the residence halls or eaten at restaurants, cafeterias, and cafés on the AUS campus. There are also several convenience stores and supermarkets on campus.

Orientations

You'll begin your study abroad experience in Sharjah even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. Meeting with students online, the resident director shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE’s aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple—to help you understand more about the program, and identify your objectives so that you arrive well-informed and return home having made significant progress towards your goals.

CIEE provides a four-day orientation at the beginning of each semester. In addition, AUS offers an orientation for all new international students. The CIEE orientation includes sessions on local culture, health and safety issues, local logistics, academic policies, and course registration. Ongoing support occurs throughout the semester with a series of group meetings and other program activities. A CIEE re-entry workshop is organized at the end of each semester in order to help prepare students for their return to the U.S.

Internet

You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. Individual Internet connections are available in each student room and you'll have access to wireless Internet throughout campus. Computer labs are also available in each residence hall, academic buildings, and the University library.

Culture

The study abroad program includes a series of field trips, site visits, and cultural events which aim to enhance the students’ understanding and appreciation of life and society in the United Arab Emirates. Possible excursions include daytrips to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, an overnight excursion to Al-Ain, and activities such as desert safaris, guest lectures, and visits to local museums, galleries, and traditional souks (markets).

Community Engagement

This study abroad program does not offer formal volunteer for credit. However, community engagement is readily available through participation in one of the many AUS student clubs and organizations. In addition, CIEE organizes activities throughout the semester that offer you an opportunity to interact with members of the local community and learn firsthand about Emirati culture.

Immersion

You will live on campus in residence halls with local and other international students. AUS offers a variety of international student clubs that allow you to learn firsthand about local student culture and the UAE.

Academics

The Business, Engineering, Arts, and Sciences study abroad program is designed to combine Arabic language and Middle Eastern and Gulf studies courses with electives in the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, business, engineering, and other direct enrollment courses at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). Studying alongside students from various corners of the Arab World provides students with the opportunity to experience different perspectives and ideas within an academic environment and structure based on a U.S. university system. The AUS business, engineering, and architecture programs have U.S. accreditation. Most of the Arabic language courses are designed for non-native speakers and focus on modern standard Arabic.

Academic Culture

AUS offers students a U.S.-style education within a traditional Gulf environment. Courses include a combination of lecture, discussion, independent and group projects, and laboratory work. The average class size at AUS is approximately 24 students. Although many of the faculty have U.S. or Canadian citizenship, and the University is designed to encourage lively discussion and scholarly debate, faculty and students are expected to demonstrate respect for traditional beliefs and religious values at all times.

Arabic language courses are offered at various levels, including a special set of courses for heritage speakers. With the exception of the language courses, almost all courses at the American University of Sharjah are taught in English.

Nature of Classes

CIEE students enroll in classes with regular degree students and other visiting international students.

CIEE Community Language Commitment

Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Arabic at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that will contribute to both Arabic language proficiency and understanding of Arab culture.

Grading System

The AUS grading scale is identical to the grading scale used at most U.S. universities. It is an A–F grading scale with pluses and minuses, based on a 4.0 grade point system.

Language of Instruction

Arabic for Arabic language classes only
English

Faculty

All courses are taught by faculty from the American University of Sharjah.
