Paris/New York: Majors with Eugene Lang College

Paris/New York: AUP offers transatlantic majors in Literary Studies, Global Cities and Global Communications with Eugene Lang College of the New School.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Once matriculated at AUP, any course taken outside AUP must be pre-approved by the University Registrar. Also, there are limitations on how many credits you may transfer in (see the AUP catalog for details).

 

 

 

The last 16 credits (15 credits for those students who matriculated prior to Fall 09) must be completed at AUP.

 

 
 
 
 

 

Identify where you want to go (location). If you are interested in one of AUP's Exchange programs, contact the Advising Center for details and applications.

 

 

 

What type of program/schools interest you?

 

 
 
 
 

 

Check for university guides at the library or online.

 

 

 

Talk to your advisor and the study abroad coordinator if you are interested in a partner institution.

 

 

 

Talk to professor(s) specialized in your field(s) of interest.

 

 
 
 
 

 

Identify your deadlines.

 

 

 

There is a nomination process in place for AUP’s Exchange programs in partner institutions. Make an appointment with the Academic Advising Coordinator at the Advising Center for eligibility and nomination information.

 

 

 

You will need to contact professors about recommendations in advance and request your official transcripts (if needed) from the Registrar’s Office (you cannot expect a recommendation or an official transcript within extremely short notice).

 

 

 

Take into consideration French mail service (overnight mail to the United States is impossible because of time zone; plan on at least 2 days for delivery to the U.S. and keep in mind that postal rates will be high).

 

 

 

Secure pre-approval for your courses by turning in the external pre-approval form to the Registrar’s Office:

 

 

 

Attach any pertinent information regarding the university – where is it? If it is a non-American accredited school, you will need to bring extra information regarding the school’s calendar (so that the Registrar can see how many class sessions you have over what period of time). You should also take catalog course descriptions for all courses that you are considering.

 

 
 
 
 

 

Make sure you pre-register for the following semester. If your plans fall through, or if you change your mind, you will be happy to have courses to fall back on.

 

 

 

If you do end up going, contact the Registrar’s Office to have your courses dropped.

 

 

 

Leave your contact information with the Registrar’s Office for pre-registration purposes while you are away. Pre-registration can be done via e-mail, but the Registrar’s Office needs to have your information on file.
