Emblem

Blue, Red, and Orange: These are the three colors of the national flag of the Republic of Armenia, all represented in the arched emblem of Yerevan Gladzor University. The book, depicted in blue, symbolizes the foundation and source of knowledge. Blue represents the Armenian people's will to live under a peaceful sky. The five steps, illustrated in red, signify the five-year duration of study, reflecting the original model of higher education at the university. Red symbolizes the Armenian Highlands, the enduring struggle of the Armenian people for survival, their Christian faith, and the pursuit of independence and freedom. At the top, the sun, shown in orange, represents enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge. Orange symbolizes the creative talent and industrious spirit of the Armenian people.

University Anthem

In deep, impenetrable darkness
Of its painful history,
The Armenian creates in learning
A ray of light for salvation.
‍
As a witness to all this,
In our harsh new days,
You were born worthy and honored
Of the glory of old Gladzor.
‍
New Gladzor, magnificent, bright,
A beacon and temple of light,
You are our cherished mother,
Generous and incorruptible.

Live proudly and eternally
As the hearth of education,
May your fame always soar,
Today, tomorrow, forever.
