The American University in Bulgaria is a academic institution in the liberal arts tradition which accepted its first class of students in September 1991. The university will have its first commencement ceremony in May 1995. Begun with initial financial support from the United States Agency for International Develop- ment, the Soros Foundation, and with infrastructure support from the Bulgarian national and local government, AUBG now has over 600 students. One-fifth of the student body comes from countries other than Bulgaria, including Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Norway and the US. All courses are taught in English. Entrance requirements include an exceptional score on the Scho- lastic Aptitude Test; the average score of the most recent incom- ing class was 1190. Recently, the Computer Center of AUBG com- pleted an important stage in the continuing improvement of AUBG's computing capabilities. AUBG has acquired a designated telephone line with Vienna now provides it with fully interactive internet capability.
