The American University of Kinshasa, located in the center of Africa in the Congo, is dedicated not only to the whole contintent but also to international students and American exchange students, individuals, organizations, and corporations interested in Africa.

Modelled after the American education system, the University's intended goal is to advance higher education, to improve health care and socio-economic development in the region. Moreover, the American University of Kinshasa provides a bridge for educational, cultural and trade exchange opportunities between Americans and Africans.

Thus, the focus of this important University is on:

• Contributing to Africa's education, health, and economic progress
• Training people in American-style education, thus preparing them to work more harmoniously with international and American business practices, corporations and people.
• Promoting awareness of cultural, educational and business exchange opportunities between the International Community and Africa, as well as strengthening and facilitating relationships and partnerships between Africans and individuals, organizations, Universities, and corporations.

This is a genuine bridge; a forum; a marketplace for the benefit of people on both sides.
