master’s programs at The American University in Cairo (AUC) have topped the 2017 Eduniversal Rankings, with four being ranked the first in
Africa.
In its master's rankings, Eduniversal

Specifically, AUC’s master’s programs in journalism and mass communication,
economics in international development, public administration, and economics
were all ranked first regionally in their respective categories.
Moreover,
AUC’s Master of Science programs in finance and electronics and communications
engineering as well as the Executive MBA programs all ranked second regionally.
The MBA and the master’s in electronics and communications engineering with a
concentration in management of technology ranked third in Africa, while the LLM

“I
am very excited about this year’s results of rankings for a number of graduate
programs at AUC,” said Adham Ramadan, dean of graduate studies at AUC. “These
rankings demonstrate not only the quality of graduate studies at AUC, but also
the consistency of our graduate programs in maintaining quality. I am confident
that these programs will continue in their excellence and that other graduate
programs will also come to be recognized for their quality.”
Founded in 1994, Eduniversal uses three main criteria in
its master’s rankings methodology: reputation of the program, salary of first
employment post-graduation and a student satisfaction survey, which
demonstrated the wide-ranging strength of AUC’s graduate programs.
