AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF ARMENIA TO LAUNCH UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN FALL 2013 The American University of Armenia (AUA) announced plans to launch its first-ever Bachelor's degree program, set to begin in the fall of 2013. Since its foundation over 20 years ago, AUA has become one of the country's premier research institutes. With the addition of a new, four-year undergraduate curriculum, the university further raises the bar for education in Armenia. The momentous announcement was made by AUA President Dr. Bruce Boghosian at a recent press con- ference, which attracted worldwide media cover- age. Dr. Boghosian noted that the undergraduate pro- gram will enroll approximately 300 students every year, with the goal of accommodating 1,200 under- graduates by 2017. AUA's new undergraduate program will offer majors in Computational Sciences, Business, and English & Communications. The Bachelor's degree in Computa- tional Sciences will include topics in applied mathe- matics and computer science, as well as in computa- tional techniques for the simulation and modeling of systems for science and engineering. The coursework for the Bachelor's degree in Business will include a AUA announces the launch of undergraduate program at a press conference solid grounding in economics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and business communications. The Bachelor's degree in English & Communications will include courses in journalism, public relations, writing, translation and other aspects of communications. AUA's 4- year program will help lay a foundation for graduates, ensuring that they are well-positioned to pursue careers and advance progress in their homeland. All three programs will have a strong general education component, and will be taught in English. These new majors will complement the seven Master's degree programs that AUA currently offers. The new AUA undergraduate program will allow the university to further its mission of providing accessible, high- quality education for the next generation of Armenian professionals - while at the same time making the school a destination for international students. "All of us at AUA are excited about reaching this new milestone...We remain committed to offering rigorous academics and an Armenian education, and look forward to a vibrant, international faculty and student body from Armenia and abroad," noted Dr. Boghosian. He further emphasized, "The university will keep in place its 'need-blind' admissions policy, continuing to ensure that no qualified Armenian student is denied an education at AUA because they lack the means to pay tuition." (Continued on page 3) Page 2 AGBU ARMENIA NEWSLETTER ISSUE 21, JULY-AUGUST, 2012 AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF ARMENIA... (see page 2) AGBU has played a critical and important role in the founding of AUA. In the aftermath of the devastating 1988 Shirak earthquake, as part of the organization's broad efforts to help Armenia recover and rebuild, AGBU agreed to underwrite a major share of the operational funding necessary to establish the university. AGBU has helped AUA grow and expand by establishing the AUA Endowment Fund, the earnings of which are distributed to AUA on an annual basis. Over the past 15 years, the university has received $10,000,000 in support from the AUA Endowment Fund at AGBU. AGBU President Berge Setrakian expressed enthusiasm for the new initiative by stating, "Since its earliest days, AGBU has staunchly supported education, and we are proud to have played a role in the development and expan- sion of such a vibrant institution which attracts some of Armenia's brightest minds. We look forward to a new cadre of students benefiting from all that AUA has to offer." The American University of Armenia is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universi- ties of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Following an intensive proposal process, which included a visit to the university, the Commission approved the offering of the new undergraduate

    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

Eiland and Dickran Kouymjian https://doi.org/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T004089 Published online: 2003 updated bibliography, 26 May 2010 Country in the southern part of the Transcaucasian region; its capital is Erevan. Present-day Armenia is bounded by Georgia to the north, Iran to the south-east, Azerbaijan to the east and Turkey to the west. From 1920 to 1991 Armenia was a Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR, but historically its land encompassed a much greater area including parts of all present-day bordering countries (see fig.). At its greatest extent it occupied the plateau covering most of what is now central and eastern Turkey (c. 300,000 sq. km) bounded on the north by the Pontic Range and on the south by the Taurus and Kurdistan mountains. During the 11th century another Armenian state was formed to the west of Historic Armenia on the Cilician plain in south-east Asia Minor, bounded by the Taurus Mountains on the west and the Amanus (Nur) Mountains on the east. Its strategic location between East and West made Historic or Greater Armenia an important country to control, and for centuries it was a battlefield in the struggle for power between surrounding empires. Periods of domination and division have alternated with centuries of independence, during which the country was divided into one or more kingdoms.
