Founded in Prague in 1990, Anglo-American University (AAU), is the oldest private institution of higher education in the Czech Republic. Courses are provided in English. Professors at the university have degrees from Cambridge, Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, and Paris-Sorbonne.
Anglo-American University was founded in 1990, shortly after the collapse of communism, as the Anglo-American College by Jansen Raichl and Dr. Vlasta Raichlová. Their vision was to create a higher education institution that would combine the best of Central European traditions with American and British academic principles.
Steady growth, increased visibility, and the conference of advanced graduate degrees prompted a reconsideration of the college's name in English to include university instead of college.
In 2010, Anglo-American University was invited to apply for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) institutional accreditation and has since successfully advanced from the eligibility stage. AAU is the first university not in the United States to have been invited. Later, in 2016 Anglo-American University successfully received WASC accreditation, becoming the first university in Europe to receive this kind of partnership.
Anglo-American University has from its inception offered studies under the School of Business Administration, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and School of Law. In 2006 and 2010 respectively, AAU established its School of International Relations and Diplomacy, and School of Journalism. In the fall of 2008, co-founder and esteemed lecturer of the school of law, John H. Carey II, died. It was announced at Carey's funeral that Anglo-American University's School of Law would be known officially as the John H. Carey II School of Law.
