Graduates can succeed in leadership roles in the following fields:
Career opportunities include:
The internship is part of the curriculum and aims to provide students with an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills and expand a set of competencies valued by top-ranked employers from a work experience placement carefully curated by AUK and the University partners network. The locations of internships are directly related to the students’ program of study and allow them to get a real-world, career-related practice and learning experience not available in the classroom.
This practice will be conducted as a blended learning activity offline or online with involvement in the activities of a particular company. The student will be supervised simultaneously by the Internship Education Program Advisor and Employer Representative to seek relevant experiences and develop job-seeking skills as part of the internship.
At the end of the internship, students should prepare a full report of activities and provide primary data collected on their chosen topic or in a particular area of interest related to their career field.
Dual degree options make top-quality education accessible to Ukrainian students at AUK. Through a combination of online and in person study, you have the opportunity to gain diplomas from both American University Kyiv and Arizona State University. You can also choose to study on campus in the US or online at Arizona State University.
AUK Degree
After four years of successful study at AUK, students are awarded an AUK Bachelor's degree in Data Science.
Dual Degree (AUK+ASU)*
This program supports dual degrees via model 3+1:
Three years studying at AUK and one final year studying at ASU. Upon graduation, students receive a Bachelor's degree from AUK and a Bachelor's degree from ASU.
As a Bachelor of Data Science student at AUK, you can gain the Dual Bachelor's degrees: a Bachelor's degree from AUK and a Bachelor's degree from ASU. Students of Data Science should be prepared to apply to Arizona State University in the third year of study (the 5th semester of study at AUK). The study year at ASU may start in September 2026 (the 7th semester of study in the Bachelor's program of Data Science).
