The American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) traces its roots to 2005, when George Mason University of the United States opened a campus in Ras Al Khaimah to bring American-style higher education to the northern emirates; AURAK itself was established as an independent public, non-profit university in 2009, building on the infrastructure and early groundwork laid by that earlier campus. It offers American-style undergraduate and graduate programmes in fields such as business and management, computer science, engineering, media and design, and biotechnology, along with master's degrees in areas including sustainable and renewable energy, engineering project management, and business administration, reflecting a mix of traditional and emerging fields relevant to the UAE economy. The university operates from a large, purpose-built campus of around 1.3 million square feet in Ras Al Khaimah, with a stated focus on blending international, American-style academic standards with the local culture and heritage of the emirate.
