The capital city of Baku, home to AC Azerbaijan since 1993, is situated on the shores of the Caspian Sea in the south of the Absheron peninsula. With its long history, and large geographic area and population, Baku is one of the oldest and largest cities in the East and is known as the cultural center of Azerbaijan due to its many theatres, museums, and academic institutions.
In addition to numerous programs, our office also administers official digital SAT tests. Our office works closely with the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan and the American Center, local high schools and universities, and other community organizations and entities.
Featured Programs
EducationUSA: A U.S. Department of State-supported network of hundreds of advising centers around the world (400 advising centers in 170 countries). Advisers provide students with accurate, comprehensive, and current information about educational institutions and opportunities in the United States. The EducationUSA Advising Center in Baku, with the support of the US Embassy, hosts two fairs each year: the U.S. Higher Education Fair and the EducationUSA Alumni Fair.
Language Immersion: The Critical Language Scholarship Program (CLS) is a language and cultural immersion program for American undergraduate and graduate students. Its goal is to broaden the base of Americans studying and mastering critical languages and building relationships between the people of the United States and other countries. For an academic year, semester, or summer, Americans can study Azerbaijani and Turkish for an academic year, semester or summer while living with a local host family to learn about Azerbaijani culture while on the Eurasian Regional Language Program.
Professional Fellows Program: Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, PFP seeks to strengthen the understanding of the U.S. legislative process and engagement in the political process; to create partnerships between US and foreign institutions; to establish a common language for developing practical solutions for shared problems and concerns. This is done through a five-week exchange where participants spend time working with American legislative offices, either at the federal, state or local level. Since 2012, PFP Azerbaijan has sent five fellows to the U.S. every year.

This oil-rich economy, where the international petroleum industry began in the mid-19th century, has experienced a second oil boom following independence in 1991. The opening of new export routes via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and the South Caucasus Pipeline system for gas has led to public spending increases in infrastructure projects and the modernization of Azerbaijan. At the same time, diversification of the economy and the development of new industries are a national priority. Openness to foreign investment has aided Azerbaijan's transition to a market economy and wide-ranging reforms have improved its overall macroeconomic environment. With this rapidly developing and reforming country, you need a firm that's familiar with the local, as well as the larger challenges.
