The American University of Paris is a university in motion, building the path to becoming a leading academic, intellectual, and cultural center in France and in the world. In this highly selective educational setting, AUP continues to strengthen its position as an international institution committed to scholarship and to the cultivation of an intellectual sensibility.

 

Over the past five years, we have fostered the advancement of scholarship by blending more tightly teaching and research, and through the establishment of a series of visiting scholar lectures and working papers in the humanities and the social sciences, business, and global communications. In addition to the more than 200 lectures and seminars taking place at AUP every year, we have additionally hosted more than ten International Conferences inviting an aggregate of over 1,000 scholars including Gary S. Becker, University of Chicago, Nobel Prize of Economics 1992, and Michel Rocard, former Prime Minister of France.

 

In addition to AUP's twelve  undergraduate programs, we have recently launched seven graduate programs: the Executive Master of Science in Finance (with Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business), the Master of Arts in International Affairs, Conflict Resolution, and Civil Society Development (with the Institut Catholique de Paris), the Master of Arts in Global Communications, the Master of Arts in Middle East and Islamic Studies, the Master of Arts in Middle East & Islamic Studies and International Affairs, the Master of Arts in Public Policy and International Affairs and the Master of Public Administration in Strategic Public Policy.

 

The university has expanded the number and depth of our partnerships with other universities such as New York University, the City University of New York, George Washington University, Central European University, and the Institut Catholique de Paris.

 

Today, we are proud to say that AUP is transforming from a unique liberal arts, globally-focused college into a small world university of the first rank. We envision becoming over the next decade a distinguished institution—employing the American model of education so admired in the world, but with a European perspective—made up of a global, multicultural faculty and student body, with extraordinary educational and scholarly potential for both.

 

Sincerely,

 
 

President and Professor of Economics
