ADA University (ADA) (Azerbaijani: ADA Universiteti) is a public university established under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan in March 2006 by Hafiz Pashayev.[2] By the decree of the President of Azerbaijan, ADA was transformed into a university in 2014.[3] When founded as the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy, the main objective was to train specialists for a diplomatic career in Azerbaijani foreign affairs; however, its programs expanded, and the name changed to ADA University. Its founding rector is Ambassador Hafiz Pashayev, who is a Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan and a former ambassador of Azerbaijan to the United States.[4] Its present, dedicated campus opened in September 2012.[5]
