American Jewish University (AJULA)
AJU is a truly pluralistic university that stands on the pillars of Learning and Scholarship, Culture, Ethics, Leadership, and Peoplehood.
Being a small, private, liberal arts university, AJU effortlessly provides unparalleled opportunities to informally interact with internationally recognized scholars in fields such as Bioethics, Psychology, Business, Literature, Jewish Studies, Theatre, and Political Science.
AJU offers a mentor program that can facilitate personal introductions into a wide array of professional and career opportunities.
Additionally, AJU has been able to sustain one of the lowest student-faculty ratios in the nation (7:1) while maintaining one of the most affordable tuition rates for a private US university.
