Division of Arts and Sciences

 
 
 
 

At the core of the liberal arts curriculum, the Division of Arts and Sciences provides the majority of the University’s General Education courses, offers a wide variety of undergraduate majors housed in its six departments and a challenging, highly interdisciplinary self-designed major. At the graduate level the Division proposes a Master of Arts in Cultural Translation and a Master of Arts in Middle East and Islamic Studies. Grounded in the tradition of the liberal arts, students learn to learn, and to act creatively and purposefully in an international environment, while pursuing majors and/or minors in the humanities, social sciences, information technologies, and mathematics.

 

The Division maintains several partnerships with institutions such as the Sorbonne and the Musée du Louvre offering students further possibilities to enrich their academic experience. Alumni have continued their studies at internationally recognized schools, have gone on to own successful businesses or to work for public and private organizations in many different countries.

 

The Division hosts a number of research initiatives and laboratories committed to the highest research standards in the investigation and dissemination of disciplinary and interdisciplinary study and maintains close ties with other divisions within the University, as well as with research centers, universities, and industries in Europe and all over the world. Its outreach program engages faculty and students in the organization of public conferences, art exhibitions and performances, as well as in the undertaking of humanitarian initiatives. Intellectual leadership, creativity, and social engagement are pursuits of the Division.

Les Jeunes ont la parole (JOP)

 

Each Fall and Spring semester, Art History students are offered the privilege of participating in 'Les Jeunes ont la parole', one facet of the Louvre Museum's Friday evening program Les nocturnes du Louvre. Alongside peers from other Parisian institutions, students may elect to do in-depth research on a specific work of art in the Louvre, around which they enter into dialogue with young visitors and/or the general public on two or three designated evenings, in the languages of their choice. The program culminates in both one AUP credit and a certificate from the Louvre.
