AUCA is a non-profit organization comprising professionals who represent international higher education institutions in China. The full name of AUCA is American Universities in China Association. The Chinese name of AUCA has been slightly altered to reflect the fact that an increasing number of non-American universities and their official delegates are becoming members of the AUCA community.

Since its founding in 2014 by three representatives of U.S. universities based in China, AUCA has attracted more than 150 representatives from overseas colleges and universities. At present, AUCA has nearly 100 members, who are official representatives from more than 60 institutions around the world. These institutions are located in the United States, Canada, Italy, Switzerland, Singapore and many other countries.

The purposes of the association are exclusively educational, not for profit, and are to promote educational, academic, and cultural exchanges and understandings between international higher education institutions and Chinese students, families and institutions; and assist in the development of professional competence and expertise of individuals involved in the above-mentioned endeavor.

The governing body of AUCA is composed of a number of committee and sub-committees, along with an advisory board. Four sub-committees are currently existing: Student Recruitment Committee, Career Services Committee, Alumni Engagement Committee, and Institutional Partnership Committee. All committee members and advisors volunteer their services to AUCA and receive no compensation for their contributions.

AUCA Career Events are high-quality career events for oversea talents from top universities. Since 2016, AUCA has organized over 60 physical and virtual career fairs and career forums all over China, attracting more than 500 employers, and 40,000+ students and alumni from over 500 oversea universities to participate. We aim to bring more career opportunities for returnees and deepen the collaboration relations between oversea universities and employers in China.

AUCA Career Events provide a platform for university representatives, returnee students and alumni, and employers in China. It helps the university and students learn more about China's employment market and effectively bridges oversea students with high-quality internships and full-time jobs in China.
