History and Mission

The American University of Greece (AUG) represents an exciting new chapter in a nearly 150 -year tradition of educational excellence established by AUG’s partner, The American College of Greece (ACG)—Europe’s oldest and largest U.S.-accredited institution of higher education.

Founded by American missionaries in 1875 in Smyrna (now Izmir), Asia Minor, ACG relocated to Athens in 1923 and has since served generations of students through its commitment to academic quality, global citizenship, and service to others. ACG has been continuously accredited by the New England
Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) since 1981—a mark of excellence recognized around the world.

Building on this strong foundation, AUG was established in 2021 as a nonprofit institution based in Boston, Massachusetts, and is fully authorized by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education to award undergraduate and graduate degrees. In 2023, AUG received institutional accreditation from NECHE, further affirming its quality and mission alignment.

AUG operates AUG Global Campus, which offers fully online, American-accredited degree programs designed for students in the U.S. and globally who seek flexibility without compromising academic rigor. UG also serves as the official U.S. degree-granting body for programs delivered on the ACG campus Athens, through a validating agreement that ensures consistency in academic standards. While ACG continues to deliver face-to-face education in Greece through Deree (undergraduate and graduate programs), the Alba Graduate Business School, and Pierce (pre-K through grade 12), AUG focuses on expanding access to high-quality online learning. Together, the two institutions—independent but mission-aligned—serve diverse learners through a shared commitment to transformative education.

With its roots in a proud history and its eyes on the future, The American University of Greece is helping lead the way in creating innovative, accessible, and globally relevant learning opportunities for the next generation of students.
