It was established in 1919 in Tahrir Square in the center of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, and its current headquarters has become in New Cairo, and it has a Guardian Council and some administrative offices in New York. Its first president was Charles Watson, who had been its president for 25 years, born in Cairo in 1873.

This school is a terrible place to learn. I came here for a semester long exchange and quickly found that the academic atmosphere here is barely extant. There are obnoxiously loud events on campus every day that make it too loud to study anywhere. The library has no area that is enforced as a quiet area for studying (other than the rare books library on the top floor, which unfortunately has very limited hours). I also found that many of the lecturers come to class unprepared. My school in the U.S. is much better at facilitating student needs despite charging less than half the tuition rate of AUC. It's really a shame what this place is, I have heard that in the past it was home to a much more rigorous academic attitude. I hope it evolves in order to retain that status for the good of its country.
