Undergraduate

The undergraduate programs at ADA are structured as a hybrid of general and specialized education so that the curriculum focuses on both breadth and depth. These programs emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of international issues.

The program duration is four years. The first four semesters are devoted to general education that stresses the breadth component, while the remaining four semesters focus on specialized education that stresses the depth component.

We offer two specializations:

• Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (BAIS)
• Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)

All courses are offered in English as the main language of international discourse. Hence, we offer Intensive English Preparatory Program, which is also a one-year certificate program. Appropriate demonstration of English language proficiency is not a prerequisite for admission into a bachelor's program. Students lacking sufficient command of English are placed in our one-year English Preparatory Program. Students are allowed to proceed to the four-year degree program only upon passing English language proficiency exam at the end of this certificate program.
