鈥淎rmenia has an ancient history, culture, and conflicting international affairs. For me, as a Sociology student minoring in Politics, it was one of the best opportunities to learn about the country from within.

As the Politics and Governance Program for undergraduates was new at AUA, I was significantly involved in their MA program in Political Science. I took courses in Russian Politics, International and Comparative Politics, Development Policy & Strategy, and Statistics. The faculty and the courses in development theory shaped my view of world politics and opened up the possibility to plan my Master鈥檚 in Public Policy.鈥�

鈥淚 can鈥檛 help but appreciate the Sociology program at 麻豆传媒. Studying in one of the most challenging liberal social science departments at our university. My education helped me to be prepared for grasping comprehensive readings and formulating my thoughts in a concise manner. This way, I was able to keep up with MA students at the same academic level.

鈥淚 enjoyed traveling around the country, visiting all the historical monasteries and wineries, and even traveling to Tbilisi, Georgia. I made new friends and was also happy to get back to my old ones. The kind souls of Armenians, friendship, and openness of students at AUA made my exchange semester memorable!鈥�
