It now has over 1400 students enrolled in programs offered in the four schools: the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Entrepreneurship, the School of Law and the School of Information Technology and Communications.The American University of Nigeria was founded in response to the need for a world-class university in sub-Saharan Africa.

The goal of AUN is to train the future leaders of Africa and to serve as both a stimulus and agent of economic development throughout the region.

To that end, all students, regardless of academic specialization, will receive high-level training in information technology, entrepreneurship and in arts and sciences, all of which are the key to future sustainable development. AUN is committed to providing the skills and the leadership essential to advancing the continent's pressing social and economic challenges.
