The American University in Bulgaria (abbr. AUBG) is a private, selective, residential liberal arts college located in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. Established in 1991, it has 1072 students from 26 countries in Eastern Europe and beyond (as of 2007). The language of instruction at AUBG is English. The university has three sources of funding: its endowment (which came largely from gifts from the United States Agency for International Development and the Soros Foundation), gifts, and tuition. The mission of the university is "to educate future leaders committed to serving the values of an open, democratic society."

Baccalaureate degrees conferred by AUBG are accredited in both Bulgaria and the United States. The university employs 74 faculty members, about half of which are expatriate Americans, with most of the rest coming from Bulgaria. Approximately seventy percent of the students come from Bulgaria, with the rest coming from neighboring countries such as Albania, Romania, Serbia, and Macedonia as well as former Soviet republics and Mongolia.

AUBG is fully accredited in the United States and has its school accreditation from New England Association of Schools and Colleges.[1] The school is currently accredited in Bulgaria as well.

The AUBG library pioneered the use of modern library techniques in Bulgaria. It was the first academic library in Bulgaria to implement an integrated library management system

The university offers American-style Bachelor of Arts degrees in 8 majors.

In addition to its undergraduate program, the university has started an Executive MBA program in 2003. EMBA classes currently take place in Sofia in the Elieff Center.
