BAU International University Was Established in Washington D.C.

Bahçeşehir Uğur Educational Institutions, which began its investment in the United States by establishing a language school in 2004 and crowned it 10 years later with a university awarding diplomas under American law, is now among the world's leading brands in education. Established in the capital Washington D.C., 200 meters from the White House, where world politics is shaped, BAU International University - Washington D.C. opens its doors to students from all over the world. The university, which will admit its first students in September, is the first university established outside Türkiye by a Turkish investor. The university's Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Founder Enver Yücel said: "From the very first day we were founded, we have placed special importance on international relations. We explained to our students that the concept of a university has now changed in Türkiye and around the world, that campus-bound education is insufficient, and that it is important for them to experience multiculturalism. We reinforced this approach by opening our own campuses at strategic points around the world. Now, by establishing an independent university awarding diplomas under American law in the heart of the United States, we have taken our international investments to another dimension. This is announcing Türkiye's vision, strength and the courage of a Turkish entrepreneur to the whole world. We are now experiencing in Washington D.C. the excitement we felt years ago when we founded a university in Istanbul. Our aim is to bring similar investments to other countries as well."

In the first stage, at the undergraduate level, Political Science and International Relations and Economics & Finance departments, and at the graduate level, Global Affairs, , Executive MBA and Economic Law programs will admit students at BAU International University - Washington D.C., where academics from various countries in addition to the United States and Türkiye will teach. Next year, Cyber Security and New Media master's programs will admit students. The COOP Model, implemented in Türkiye with great success, will also be put into practice at BAU International University - Washington D.C. Students will have the chance to take their courses on site from experts in almost every field, from politics to economics and from law to IT. Enver Yücel says: "Our students will receive their political education from members of Congress in Washington D.C., where the heart of politics beats, and their legal education from lawyers affiliated with the American Bar Association, in person. While studying, we will also offer them the opportunity to work for a certain period at an institution or company related to their field."

"A SISTER UNIVERSITY TO BAU"

Speaking at the BAU International University - Washington D.C. press launch held at Bahçeşehir University Beşiktaş Campus, Bahçeşehir University (BAU) President Prof. Dr. Şenay Yalçın stated that, with its breakthroughs in internationalization since its founding, Bahçeşehir University has always wanted to be Türkiye's leading university and has become a pioneer in many areas through its investments. Stating that they now have a sister university in the USA, Yalçın said: "We will carry out joint work with BAU International University and will always stand side by side. BAU International University has not yet admitted its students, but students of BAU's Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences and Global MBA program in Washington are continuing their education."

"TURKISH STUDENTS CAN ALSO APPLY"

The doors of BAU International University - Washington D.C., with a capacity of 3 thousand students, are open to students from all over the world.
