The American University of Madaba (Arabic: الجامعة الامريكية في مادبا) is a private university located in Madaba, Jordan. It began opening its doors in October 2011, and expects to eventually accommodate 8000 students once the campus is completed.[1]
The Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem received the license from the Higher Education Council of Jordan in 2005 to establish the University of Madaba.[2] On May 9, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI laid the cornerstone of the university, whose name was later changed to become the American University of Madaba (AUM) as of May 29, 2011.[3]
The university will offer seven majors: engineering, health sciences, information technology, science, economics and finance, art and design, languages and communications.[4]
