Reports To: President
 
 
About The American International University

American International University (AIU) is a private institution in Kuwait, founded in 2019, offering undergraduate programs based on the American model of higher education. AIU provides degrees in Engineering, Architecture and Design, Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Education, with English as the language of instruction. The University is committed to fostering intellectual, cultural, and personal growth, preparing graduates for leadership roles in a global society.

AIU is in active execution of its RISE Strategy 2026&ndash;2030, a five-year institutional transformation anchored in research development, WSCUC international accreditation, student success, and community engagement. Technology is not peripheral to this strategy; it is foundational to it.
