History
The American University of Technology was established in 1998 under the name of American University College of Technology (AUCT), as an external degree program with State University of New York /Empire State College in New York City. It was subsequently chartered as a non-profit, non-sectarian, co-educational institution of higher learning in the state of Delaware. AUT is established as an institution of higher learning under the SUNY system by the New York State Board of Regents, and by Decree from the Ministry of Education in Lebanon, the American Association of Colleger Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO) and the Arab Association of College registrars and Admission Officers (Arab ACRAO).
In December 2007, the word "College" was dropped from the name and the university was renamed "The American University of Technology" by a governmental decree from the Ministry of Higher Education. The medium of instruction is English. AUT offers both Undergraduate and Graduate courses and degrees in most of its departments. AUT became a part of the American University, Beirut System in 2008.
