Our Journey

Located in the emirate of Ajman, CU Ajman has been officially licensed since 1 August 2011. It received initial accreditation in January 2012 for a BBA degree program with two specializations: Finance and Accounting and Marketing. The semester started with 45 students and 7 faculty members. Since then, CU Ajman has expanded rapidly.

In Fall 2018, the university had 60 full-time faculty members, 2050 students of diverse nationalities enrolled in 5 programs and 17 specializations, and 1010 students who graduated in the last 3 years. In September 2017 the University became a member of AACSB, an international accrediting agency for business schools. This tangible success has resulted from the dedication of the management, faculty, and staff members. In 2015, CU Ajman commenced the construction of its State-of-the-Art new campus in the city of Ajman. Phase 1 of the campus was completed in November 2017 with a capacity of 3500 students. Phases 2 and 3, when completed, will have a total ability of 7500 students. In mid-December 2017, CU Ajman moved to its new campus.

CU Ajman is strongly committed to offering top-quality educational programs that will significantly and positively impact society. The University’s strategic plan for 2018-2023 explains how it will continue on its path of success amid internal and external challenges. The program’s focus is to build on previous efforts to enhance the student experience and research and improve the effectiveness of internationalization strategy and internal processes. It defines how CU Ajman will steadfastly move with continuous improvement for all stakeholders. Delivering this plan will require responsiveness to changes on the part of the Board, faculty, administrative staff, and students in both the internal and external environments.
