Liberal Arts Education

At the American University of Kuwait (AUK), a liberal arts education forms the foundation of the academic experience, ensuring that students develop critical thinking, effective communication, and a broad understanding of the world. This philosophy is deeply embedded in AUK’s General Education curriculum, which requires students to engage with a wide range of disciplines beyond their major field of study. Through courses in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics, students build essential skills such as analytical reasoning, ethical judgment, and cultural awareness. By emphasizing interdisciplinary learning, AUK’s General Education program prepares students to adapt to a rapidly changing world and become thoughtful, informed global citizens.
