AUV’s cooperative distance learning program

This is the program structure followed by most American universities. Students complete two years of general education credits followed by one or two years of coursework in to their chosen majors. At AUV, students also have the option to study 2 years in Vietnam before transferring to one of AUV’s partner universities to complete their bachelor’s degree in the US.

This is the program structure followed by most American. Normally, students must earn minimum GRE scores and spend at least two years living on the campus of an American university to earn a master’s degree in the US. However, with AUV’s integrated program, students can complete a 3 or 4-year bachelor’s program in Vietnam and transfer directly into a master’s program of a partner university without GRE scores. This option also shortens the duration of master’s programs by one year, saving students time and money.

This is a cooperative study program that allows AUV students to participate in online learning at partner universities without ever leaving campus. AUV’s smart lecture halls are equipped with the most advanced educational technology for effective distance learning. The AUV distance learning program allows students to transfer to American universities at any time as part of their study abroad pathway as well as to complete bachelor’s degrees at AUV and transition to an American university to pursue graduate degrees.
