Licensed by the Ministry of Higher Education, the university was founded by the Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi. In addition to the two engineering programs, the university offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology and Business Administration (specializations in Finance, International Business and Marketing). Two new programs have been proposed for Fall 2010: Bachelor of Science in Management with specializations in Management Information Systems and Human Resource Management and an Master’s of Education in Educational Leadership and are awaiting accreditation review. Degrees are awarded after achieving four years of American-style higher education and meeting stated requirements. Keen to expand, additional degrees for 2011 are under consideration along with a plan for new academic space.

AURAK offers an array of scholarships including Chancellor Scholarships, available to the high achieving students. Other scholarships include those awarded for merit, program scholarships and the Ras Al Khaimah resident assistance plan.
Located just an hour north of Dubai, the American University of Ras Al Khaimah is situated on a spacious green campus. AURAK offers students a full university experience with an abundance of student activities and sports. Sports facilities include a gym, soccer field and soon, a six lane running track.
