About RIT Kosovo:
The American University in Kosovo Foundation (AUKF) was established in the summer of 2003 with the purpose of developing a private, nonprofit, high-quality university based on the American model of higher education in partnership with a university in the United States. That partner, the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), proposed a program for Kosovo consistent with the mission of RIT: to provide technology-based educational programs for lifelong career development. The institution was officially renamed RIT Kosovo from the American University in Kosovo (A.U.K.) in 2012 to reflect the strong and long-term nature of the partnership with RIT Rochester campus – but many people still colloquially refer to it as A.U.K.

A.U.K. opened its doors in 2003 with 67 students, and, today, RIT Kosovo serves more than 700 undergraduate students, with more than 1,000 additional students annually enrolling in short-term non-credit classes often tailored to local work-force demands. RIT Kosovo remains the only Kosovo institution of higher education awarding American degrees offered wholly in the English language. Additionally, as a multi-ethnic institution enrolling students from over 20 countries, RIT Kosovo provides a first-class education to students from Kosovo and beyond.

At the undergraduate level, the degree programs offered at RIT Kosovo are the RIT Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Arts and Science (BSc) and the RIT BS degree in Computer Information Technology. RIT Kosovo offers these American degrees with innovation, adaptability, and creative pathways that prepare students with professional and life skills for a global world. Students have the opportunity to create their undergraduate programs from two or more professional areas of study with a strong foundation in the social sciences, through RIT’s School of Individualized Study. In Kosovo, these professional areas of study are Management and Entrepreneurship, Economics and Statistics, Public Policy and Governance, Graphic Design and Multimedia, Web and Mobile Computing (IT), Energy Policy Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies. RIT Kosovo is expanding its curriculum offer to include a Master of Science Degree in Professional Studies in areas of Project Management, Design Thinking, Public Policies and others.

A twenty-member Board of Trustees that hails from around the globe governs RIT Kosovo and is responsible for developing and approving the institution’s mission, vision, strategic goals and objectives, annual budget, and for establishing policies related to programs and services. The Board appoints the President with responsibilities for administration of college programs and activities and the organization as a whole.
