Students


American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) welcomes new scholars! We currently have students in over 40 countries. We also welcome transfer students, simply ask how many courses may be able to be transferred.

In 2020 we are saddened that many colleges all over the world are closing because of the financial crisis linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.  AUSN classes continue every week of the year, so you may be able to complete your degree without any additional stress to the many caused by the pandemic itself.

Many students receive tuition support, and please see information on Scholarships and Sovereign Nations Scholars, and apply.

We do not manage federal or state student loans. Our founding philosophy is that students should not be faced with a mountain of debt when they graduate. We will try to do our best for Education for All.

Why “A” University of Sovereign Nations?

The letter "A" has a number of meanings linked to the concept of a decolonized University.  "A" denotes that we are one of a new movement of decolonised Universities around the world. "A" not only denotes America, but also denotes Asia, Africa, Australasia, Antarctica and the Americas (South and North).

We use the term “American” because we are located in the Americas, and because of the positive ideal of what the term “America” stands for - freedom, democracy, and a chance to work hard and make a difference in the world.

There are critiques of America, and some crimes and tragedies that have occurred counter to the constitution, but we can freely discuss these and lessons to learn because academic freedom is privileged. Education is a proven way to change our community where the rights and responsibilities of all are not only recognized, but are also the vehicle for such a transformation. Please become part of the solution.

American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) has students from Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Egypt, England, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Japan, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan,  the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, USA, Vietnam, Yemen, Zimbabwe. All persons come as individuals not representing their nation, but we come together with our identities of where our ancestors came from and the many who helped forge us into the persons we are. You can learn about your history, as we celebrate the heritage of our ancestors from all around the world.

About one quarter of our students are indigenous, and some of these come from the 566 federally recognized sovereign nations inside the United States of America. The Americas is described as the New World by many people, and in terms of human history, it is. The first university in the Americas we know was developed a millennium ago in Xochicalco Mexico, and students came from many indigenous tribes to study and learn together.

 

AUSN  started offering degrees on 21 April 2014, with a range of degrees and postgraduate certificate programs. You can view profiles of some of our students, and also the profiles of some sovereign nation scholars using the links above. Some faculty and research fellows are also students. There is a full list of AUSN Alumni by Country on the Alumni page.
