The history of Caucasus University goes back to 1998 when with US government funding and in cooperation with Georgia State University, Caucasus School of Business (CSB) was established.  Thus, the implementation of the first western-style education was launched in Georgia. Before long, Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD academic programs were started. It was in 2004 when the first private education institution - Caucasus University - was founded on the basis of Caucasus School of Business. 

Currently, Caucasus University has 11 schools (faculties). The University awards Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral academic degrees in accordance with the legislation of Georgia.
