American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) list of programs added. Other details (contact phone etc) also updated. AU RAK courses start in September 2009. Not much in the way of other information found. Anyone know what the course fees are? AU RAK grew out of the demise of the George Mason University (GMU RAK), another US curriculum university in RAK. The operational head of GMU, Prof Sharon Siverts, appears to have moved on to AURAK. Perhaps she wasn’t involved in the reported disagreement between the managers and the funding body of GMU, otherwise it seems a bit strange.
