An amazing place to learn, prosper, and have fun

-

Since its inception in 2002, ANC has reached out not only to Sri Lankan students, there is a significan­t number of internatio­nal students including Maldivians, Chinese, Indians, Koreans, Iraquies , etc. achieving the kind of learning they need for life, work, and citizenshi­p. ANC respects cultural diversity, and every student enrolled at ANC is prepared for twenty- first century challenges while pursuing academic excellence and scholarshi­p. In addition to academics, a number of extracurri­cular activities and social events are organized throughout the year to ensure that ANC students, faculty, and staff are a tightknit community where everyone will be much more than a number. This also develops students’ leadership and team working skills that a classroom alone cannot always foster.

ANC offers a range of American degree programs in areas of Business: Marketing, Management, Internatio­nal Business, Finance and Entre preneurshi­p, Management Informatio­n systems ( MIS), and Hospitalit­y and Tourism. They are internal degree programs directly awarded by Northwood University, which ranks fourth in the USA for “Best Value Business School” ( Based on PayScale’s Return on Investment ( ROI) Report). Industry- specific curriculum­s of all these programs are accredited by the Accreditat­ion Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

US education focuses on the all- round skill developmen­t of young graduates with the objective of molding them into leaders of the tomorrow’s business world. In this light, ANC’s GPSI ( Guaranteed Paid Student Internship­s) program ensures that many rewarding job opportunit­ies await ANC graduates. The prime objective of the GPSI program is to ensure that our students gain hands-on experience in addition to developing skills, strengthen­ing their resumes, and making a career network for themselves, which would come in handy in future. Several multinatio­nal companies such as MAS Holding, Virtusa, Samsung, DIMO, Hilton, Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts, Heyleys, etc. have welcomed ANC students as interns, and most of them have been able to secure full time employment in these organizati­ons upon graduation as their supervisor­s are convinced that ANC graduates are committed to learning, interested in the field, and they have invested in their future.

ANC has also produced hundreds of Psychology graduates through its collaborat­ion with renowned universiti­es at the forefront of world class research in Psychology. According to Dr Mojgan Shadbash, the Head of Psychology programs at ANC, “our students have been included in the Dean’s list of Missouri S& T. They gain not only theoretica­l knowledge but develop their personalit­y, their critical thinking, and ethical values as profession­als. This is further reinforced whilst completing three month supervised inter nship program, attached to a number of health organizati­ons in Sri Lanka.”

The B. A. in Psychology includes a choice of concentrat­ions in criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, or Industrial/ Organizati­onal Psychology. The course is designed to “prepare students for the next step… immediate employment or graduate school.” What’s more, this qualificat­ion will undoubtedl­y make the migration process easy and stress- free for any student looking forward to a better career abroad. The Master’s in Clinical Psychology, awarded by the University of West London (UWL), is the first of its kind to be launched in the history of private education in Sri Lanka. This program is expected to attract Psychology graduates seeking to enhance their careers and profession­al developmen­t.

Besides academics, there is so much to do at ANC. Campus events include freshers’ day out, games day, the 4th of July celebratio­ns, movie screenings, concerts, Iftar ceremony, holy festival, Christmas party, annual fashion show, Halloween party, etc. Students look forward to the Graduation Ball, an unforgetta­ble night which allows not only the graduation class but also all the students, their friends, families, and staff to celebrate student success while enjoying themselves. Community service is also part of student activities, for we are at our best when we are helping others be at theirs. In addition to them, ANC Rotaract Club, Hospitalit­y club, Business club, Charity Club, Psych o l o g y Society, and Performing Arts Club organize various activities to keep everybody engaged. They also reach out to the local community which in turn strengthen­s their relationsh­ip with various stakeholde­rs. They leverage these experience­s once they launch rewarding careers upon graduation. If you wish you too could lead and develop your club.

ANC students have access to a world class education that prepares them for the futureto work in Sri Lanka as well as to have the world as their arena of operation. Merit based scholarshi­ps and strong student support services including financial aid arranged through local banks also promote student success throughout their career at ANC.
