In furthering our mission of fostering the intellectual
growth, intercultural understanding, and personal
development of students from all national, linguistic and
educational backgrounds, The American University of Paris
has created a new program for students seeking to sharpen
their academic English skills. |
| |
|
Qualifying students may be able
to enroll in AUP’s English for University Studies Program
(EUSP) for one or two semesters of preparatory English
studies, delivered by AUP teaching staff on the AUP
campus. |
| |
| |
| |
|
English for University
Studies Program (EUSP) |
| |
| |
|
This new program for entering, degree-seeking students has
been designed to provide intensive academic English
instruction to students who require additional work on
their proficiency in English. Students in this program,
who might otherwise be denied admission to AUP, will join
the dynamic and geographically diverse AUP learning
community from the outset. By following a varied
curriculum that prepares them for university studies in
English, students will begin their trajectory toward
academic success. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
|
Students will be streamed into either an Intermediate or
Advanced level of English studies, depending on their
tested level of English proficiency when admitted. |
|
|
|
Students who place into the Advanced level will typically
complete the program in one semester, while students who
place into the Intermediate level will more commonly spend
two semesters reaching the program’s English proficiency
objectives. |
|
|
|
In both cases, successful students will then gain access
to AUP’s other academic offerings. |
| |
| |
| |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
20 hours of class time and language learning
activities per week |
|
3 academic modules, 5 periods each |
|
3 periods a day (4 hours), 5 days a week |
|
12 credits per semester (completed in addition
to the average 128 credits required for
graduation with a BA or BSc degree) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASSESSMENT |
|
Students will be assessed throughout the
program, as they are in all academic programs,
and rigorously prepared for the language
testing period that will take place at the end
of the program. |
|
Students will have to meet minimum
English-language requirements before being
allowed to enroll in AUP’s other academic
programs. |
|
Assessment of students’ readiness for
advancement to the next level will include
TOEFL outcomes and assessment of written work
by a committee of AUP professors. |
|
On a case-by-case basis, students may be
invited to repeat the program. |

Admission Requirements |
| |
| To gain access to the English for
University Studies Program, students are asked to follow
normal admission procedures. This includes the submission
of academic transcripts, references, an essay and English
proficiency test results. |
| |
 |
| |
| Students who present strong credentials,
but whose language test scores are below the University’s
minimum requirements, will be considered for conditional
admission, based on the successful completion of AUP’s
English for University Studies Program. |
| |
| |
| |
|
Student Life |
| |
| Students admitted to the English for
University Studies Program (EUSP) will fully participate
in the rich intellectual and social life of AUP
undergraduate students. As such, they will be invited to
take full part in student activities and clubs, film and
lecture series, as well as on-campus social activities of
all kinds, benefiting from the unique experiences AUP
students are known to offer and support. EUSP students
will also have access to all services offered by the
university: registrar services, housing, counseling,
cultural programs, etc. |
