The University American College Skopje (UACS) was established in 2005 as one of the few independent universities in the Republic of Macedonia. The University is an institution for higher education that combines the best of American and European educational experiences.
UACS offers American efficiency through carefully designed curricula, current professional literature and case studies from distinguished authors, as well as implementing the “American Way”.
We are a university where each student counts, where each student is taken seriously, and where faculty members know students by name. The close student attention is a distinctive feature of UACS. Most importantly, emphasis is placed on both professionalism, and on a holistic educational approach to student development.
Our mission is to enhance the students’ ability to think creatively and critically, and to communicate effectively.
UACS is designed to provide the community with higher education, professional support to industry and government, and most notably, well-trained young individuals prepared to enter the workforce with professional and exceptional knowledge.
UACS employs the European model of continuous education. This includes an accelerated baccalaureate degree program as well as extended studies at the graduate level. The programs for undergraduate and graduate levels are designed to be completed in 3+1+1 years, with the full option of transferring credits from other accredited institutions.
