The American University of Science

Gotta love the homepage video of an older white guy with a long flowing beard and three studs in his left ear dressed in a lab coat and goggles in one scene, young female assistant and all, and solo in a gray jacket in another. I guess he’s supposed to represent a stereotypical intellectual and exemplify the saying on the screen, Be Wiser. My interior monologue wondered how they could keep a straight face. That’s what good actors do! Also, gotta love the introduction: “The American University of Science aims to bring quality education to all, without boundaries and regardless of background. Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that everyone has the right to education equally accessible. We focus on supporting all people to pursue wisdom for a better life in a better world.” How noble of them. I look forward to seeing how much this “quality education for all” costs. My educated guess is profit through volume and based on low overhead. Then there’s this lon g-winded caveat, evidence that AUS is a yet another US rogue provider, i.e., unaccredited institution: “According to the United States Department of Education (USDE), ‘accreditation in the United States is a voluntary, nongovernmental process, in which an institution and its programs are evaluated against standards for measuring quality.’ ​The American University of Science (The University) acknowledges that possessing an USDE-recognized accreditation significantly favors students in numerous aspects. Thus, one of the strategic pillars of The University is to continuously advance its system and standards to be comparable to those holding USDE-recognized accreditation when it comes to awarding Doctorate, Master’s, Bachelor’s, and Associate’s degrees, as well as other diplomas and certificates. Ultimately, this practice functions as a cornerstone for working towards USDE-recognized accreditation when this option becomes viable. The University has continuously been investing a significant effort in satisfying the mandatory requirements demonstrated in the accreditation policies of all USDE-recognized accrediting bodies. ​The educational system of the United States of America remains uniquely exceptional. Before seeking USDE-recognized accreditation, all institutions in Hawaii must comply with the provisions of Chapter 446E (MAA: I inserted this link) of Hawaii Revised Statutes (Unaccredited Degree Granting Institutions) to operate and grant postsecondary qualifications of all levels legally.​ As a good-standing institution in the State of Hawaii, The University fully and willingly complies with Chapter 446E of Hawaii Revised Statutes, which requires The University to state that ​The American University of Science IS NOT ACCREDITED BY AN ACCREDITING AGENCY RECOGNIZED BY THE UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF EDUCATION. Note: In the United States, many licensing authorities require accredited degrees as the basis for eligibility for licensing. In some cases, accredited colleges may not accept for transfer courses and degrees completed at unaccredited colleges, and some employers may require an accredited degree as a basis for eligibility for employment.” The part in caps is the money phrase. I’ve seen this wording before, likely a copy and paste. Oh, and most of the links on the website don’t work. The website was registered on 9.5.21, updated on 14.5.22, and will expire on 9.5.23. All of the contact information, i.e., registrant, administrative, and technical, was “redacted for privacy.” According to the description on VietnamWorks, “The American University of Science, a private university established in the State of Hawaii, United States of America, aims to expand its influence and deliver its educational services in Asia, focusing on Singapore and Vietnam.” Is it licensed in Hawaii? (My request is pending.) I’ve got to give these US rogue providers credit for one thing – persistence. Wherever there’s profit potential, that’s where they’ll be, like a bad penny and flies to honey or something less savory. Memo to AUS: You’re late to the rogue provider game in Vietnam – by over a decade. Official Vietnam, including the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET), is onto you! The clock is ticking.

My father, always the responsible one, had other matters on his mind. He was concerned about the authenticity of the university and wanted to ensure that everything was in order before I committed to studying there. With a determined look on his face, my father and I made our way to the office of the university president. After a brief wait, we were ushered into his office. My father wasted no time and dove straight into his concerns. "I am here today because I have some questions regarding the accreditation and degrees offered by this university," my father began. The president's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly composed himself. "Of course, I understand your concerns. Our university is fully accredited, and our degrees hold value in the job market." My father nodded, seemingly satisfied with the response. "I appreciate that, but I would like to see some tangible proof. Can you show us the official accreditation documents and clarify the academic affiliations?" The president 's demeanor shifted subtly, and I could sense a hint of unease. "Well, you see, the accreditation process is ongoing, and we are in the final stages of securing the necessary documentation. As for academic affiliations, we have collaborations with various renowned institutions." My father's expression turned stern. "I understand that these processes can take time, but I believe it's essential to have a clear understanding before my child enrolls here." The president's response was evasive, and my father's concern grew. After a few more minutes of back-and-forth, my father came to a decision that took me by surprise. He turned to me and said, "We will not be proceeding with your admission to this university. It's important to have transparency and credibility, and I don't feel confident about the responses we've received today". We thanked the president for his time and left the university campus. During the drive back home, my father explained his decision to me. He emphasized the importance of choosing an institution with a solid reputation and verifiable credentials. While it was a tough choice, I realized that my father's concern for my education was unwavering.

It pains me to say that I have noticed a lack of dedication, preparation, and enthusiasm from some of the teachers. This has resulted in a negative impact on the learning experiences of the students :( Several instances have highlighted this concern. First, there have been instances where teachers appeared unprepared for lessons, leading to a disorganized and ineffective learning environment. This not only wastes the students' time but also hampers their ability to grasp the subject matter thoroughly :( Furthermore, I have witnessed a lack of engagement and interactive teaching methods in the classroom. Education is most effective when students are actively participating and engaging with the material, yet there have been instances where teachers seemed disinterested or failed to foster a dynamic learning atmosphere. I also must address the issue of timely and constructive feedback. Many students, including my own, have expressed frustration over the delayed return of assignments an d the lack of detailed feedback. This significantly hinders their growth and understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement.

The fanpage of AUS employs a range of disingenuous tactics to inflate its appearance of legitimacy. Initially, the page resorts to the purchase of likes and follows, artificially boosting its follower count and engagement metrics. Additionally, it ventures into the realm of 'verified' accounts by purchasing verification badges, thus adding another layer of credibility to its façade. The most troubling aspect is the deliberate exploitation of the aspirations of Vietnamese students. By falsely asserting a connection to a prestigious AUS university, the fanpage seeks to prey on the dreams of young individuals seeking quality education abroad. Through a carefully orchestrated process of seeding misleading content, the page effectively convinces its audience that it indeed operates from the United States, further reinforcing its false narrative.

At the outset, they promised to pay me a salary at a rate of A. However, after a few months, they had a change of heart and informed me that they would be deducting electricity, water, and facility rental fees from my salary. I disagreed with this arrangement and requested that they uphold their initial commitment to pay me at the agreed upon rate of A. Their response was that they had never made any such commitment to me. It's a cautionary tale for anyone considering employment at this company in Vietnam. Foreign teachers, in particular, should steer clear of this deceitful entity.
