With 90 years of experience, The School of Continuing Education (SCE) at The American University in Cairo provides certificate programs, noncredit term-length courses and variable-length, customized courses to fulfill the continuing education needs of individuals and organizations in Egypt and the Middle East.

To fulfill the diverse needs of the community, the school offers a broad array of professional educational certificates and stand-alone courses. These are provided through the following offerings: career and skills development programs, language enhancement programs, translation diplomas, IT and computer programs, teacher training programs, youth programs, tailor-made programs, along with evaluation testing and assessments and the Career Guidance Unit. The School of Continuing Education’s regularly scheduled courses and certificates are offered in AUC Tahrir Square and AUC New Cairo. Tailor-made courses for companies and organizations are also conducted on-site and at the client’s facilities.

To build on the excellent work of those who have preceded me as dean and to expand SCE's offerings in order to reach as many people as possible, all while ensuring that SCE maintains the quality of instruction and educational experience as appropriate to AUC's stellar reputation. Doing this as part of the overall strategic plan of AUC and in support of the vision of the University's leadership will guide my work at the school.

At SCE, we strive to have our classes be high quality, affordable, flexible, accessible and designed to enhance employability, offer academic enrichment and sustain lifelong learning.
