Descriptive survey design was used to assess the teaching and learning styles at the graduate programs of AAU. The subjects in this study were 100 graduate students and 50 instructors teaching in the graduate program. Simple random techniques were used to select the graduate students and instructors. Data were collected through questionnaire, document analysis and structured interview. For better understanding of the situation a mixed method was employed with an emphasis on triangulation design. The mean value, frequency, percentage, independent t-test and multiple regressions were used to analyze data quantitatively and qualitative data were analyzed qualitatively by the interpretation and description of the respondent’s ideas. The finding of the study showed that there was learning style difference between male and female graduate students. It was found out that tactile types of learning style was a learning style of the majority of Graduate students and Delegator types of teaching style was a teaching style of the majority of instructors.
