Founded in 1991 as a joint initiative of the US Government, the Bulgarian Government, and the Open Society Institute (George Soros), AUBG is an American-style liberal arts university in Blagoevgrad, southwestern Bulgaria. Approximately 1,000 students from 40+ countries. ALL programmes taught in English following the American liberal arts model. Uniquely holds DUAL ACCREDITATION: Bulgarian (NEAA) AND American (NECHE — the same body that accredits Harvard, MIT, etc.) — meaning AUBG degrees are recognised as full American Bachelor's degrees. Notable alumni include numerous regional political, business, and media figures across the Balkans and Eastern Europe.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
