<br /> CATALOG<br /> 2019–2020<br /> <br /> Graduate<br /> Catalog<br /> 2019–2020<br /> The graduation requirements for any individual student are normally determined by the catalog that was effective when<br /> the student matriculated in the major. A student may choose to follow the catalog effective for the semester when the<br /> student expects to complete his/her graduation requirements. A student who changes majors may petition to revert to<br /> the catalog in effect at the time of matriculation into the university. The policies, procedures and academic regulations<br /> published in the American University of Sharjah catalog are effective at the time of publication but may be subject to<br /> change. Students are responsible for adherence to the most up-to-date policies, procedures and academic regulations.<br /> ©2019<br /> His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi<br /> Supreme Council Member, Ruler of Sharjah<br /> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=1"> CATALOG 2019–2020</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 2" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=2"> </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 3" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=3"> Graduate Catalog 2019–2020 </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 4" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=4"> ©2019</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 5" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=5"> His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qa</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 6" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=6"> </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 7" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=7"> Chancellor's Message Since its founding by His </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 8" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=8"> Board of Trustees and Emeriti Board of Trustees</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 9" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=9"> University Administrators University Administra</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 10" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=10"> Organizational Chart </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 11" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=11"> Graduate Academic Calendar 2019–2020 Graduate A</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 12" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=12"> Directory Directory UAE Code 971, Sharjah Code </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 13" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=13"> Campus Map </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 14" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=14"> </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 15" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=15"> Table of Contents Table of Contents Board of </a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 16" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=16"> The University The University Historical Pream</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 17" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=17"> The University The bachelor of science degree pr</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 18" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=18"> Campus Life Campus Life The Campus Complex Ame</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 19" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=19"> Campus Life and comprehensive printing facilitie</a> <a title="GR_FULL VERSION_1920 page 20" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/c874d37c?page=20"> Campus Life teaching and research.
