The American University of Paris offers a
four-year undergraduate degree in the liberal arts and sciences.
In the American model, a
liberal arts and sciences curriculum exposes students to a range of
academic disciplines and also requires specialization in one field.
The broad exposure is accomplished through a
program of general education; the depth
through concentrated study in a selected "major"
field. |

The
Bachelor's Degree
An American undergraduate degree, called a
"bachelor's degree", usually requires four academic years of study and a
total of 120 course credits, which are accumulated by taking a series of
courses. Each completed course counts as one to four credits toward a
degree.
Students graduate with one of two degrees
depending on the academic discipline studied: the Bachelor of Arts (BA) for a major in
the humanities and social sciences, or the Bachelor of Science (BS) for a
major in computer science, applied international finance, or quantitative
and computational methods in the social sciences. |
