Welcome to American University Partners
About
American University Partners ( AUP ), formerly known as SIGMA Education, was established in 1998 by a group of admissions officers from top universities in the United States, aiming to assist Asian students in smoothly entering the U.S. primary and secondary education system for their studies.
In the early stages, the main applicants came from Korean and Japanese families; it then spread to most Asian families, including those from China, India, and other countries. To date, AUP has successfully helped over 400 students gain admission to their desired schools in the United States.
AUP is dedicated to fostering international education exchange and collaboration. We specialize in facilitating partnerships between universities worldwide, promoting academic cooperation, and expanding opportunities for global learning.
