BASIC SCIENCE
Students have the option to conveniently purchase study textbooks online through AUA's
Online University Bookstore at highly competitive prices. In addition, they can order all
necessary medical equipment and school supplies, including dissection kits, lab coats, scrubs,
Video CDs, and more, from the same online bookstore.
We strongly urge all students to take advantage of the online bookstore and have their
purchases delivered directly to the campus, eliminating the hassle of carrying them around.
Please be aware that AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF ANGUILLA (Anguilla) reserves the right to
modify the book list at any time. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary expenses, we recommend
that students only purchase books for one semester.
