Full history of the Faculty
KAU is a unique institution that synthesizes the best traditions of the Soviet and American educational systems. The idea to create a university based on a synthesis of American and Kazakhstani university contract programmes belonged to Amirlan Aidarbekovich Kussainov, the founder and President of KAU, as in 1997 the only university teaching in English was KIMEP, which at the time had no undergraduate degree.
September 12, 1997 - formation of Kazakh-American University. University was originally housed in a building on Panfilov Street, corner of Gogol, on 180 square metres, provided by the Rakhat joint venture.
Since the foundation of KAU, elements of the credit system have been present in the teaching process. In March 1998, the school received a state license (#0088286), and in September of the same year, 173 students started studying at the school. June 1998 - first graduation of the KAU. The ceremony was attended by Kazakhstani officials and guests from various countries. KAU was the first university that introduced so-called 'comments', monthly school and university reports on the progress and behavior of students to their parents. At the same time, the university began to conduct a feedback survey of students on the quality of teaching of each lecturer.
Kazakh-American University is experiencing its formation and development together with its homeland. The year 2016 was marked by the solemn celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For Kazakh-American University, 2017 is the year of its 20th anniversary. The fate of the university is inextricably linked to the incredible progress of the Republic of Kazakhstan in all areas of its development. The idea to create a university-based on a synthesis of American and Kazakhstani university programs belonged to Amirlan Aidarbekovich Kussainov - the founder and President of KAU.
KAU actively introduces new systemic, technological, managerial and social programmes. Since 1997, the university was one of the first universities in Kazakhstan to implement the process of separation of students' learning and control (assessment) of their knowledge; multi-point letter system of training level; innovative system of remuneration; Hand-outs (active handouts); the concept of trilingualism in learning; universal criteria for a comprehensive assessment of language knowledge; trilingual glossary; protection of diploma projects (papers) in English.
The young university, learning from the experience of American partner universities, back in the early 2000s established and introduced into its organizational structure a Board of Trustees; a Customer Council and Specialty Expert Commission; a Laboratory of Educology; and an Alumni Association. The experience of the Kazakh-American University was taken into account in drafting the Rules of Credit System of Study, approved by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2005. Each year KAU establishes more than 200 Scholarships for gifted students from low-income families using its own funds. A School was opened as part of the University in 1998, and in 1999 the Almaty College of Communications (ACC at KAU) became part of the University.
