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.
