Student Success
“I got a fantastic education at AUC. The professors were amazing. Some of the alumni who had some time before starting residency would come back as fellows and teach clinical courses, and they were a wealth of knowledge. Whether upper classmen or alumni, everyone from AUC is so willing to help you and give advice.”

“Going to AUC was one of the best decisions I’ve made. One reason why I chose AUC was the small class sizes. It’s a great environment with easy access to professors who are very knowledgeable about their field. I always felt comfortable going to office hours with questions, and a lot of my professors have stayed in touch even years later, just to check in and see how things are going.”
