The mission of The American University of Paris (AUP) is to educate generations of academic, social, political, intellectual and business citizens of the world and to enhance the advancement of scholarship in the arts and sciences in an international, multicultural and plural environment.

 

AUP's academic portfolio reflects this international and interdisciplinary orientation, offering 12 majors and 32 minors from the most varied disciplines.  AUP's programs in the Liberal Arts and Sciences lead to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, according to American higher education standards and academic credit system.

 

Founded in 1962, AUP remains a relatively small university with a student body of around 900, representing 100 nationalities, and an average student to faculty ratio of 18 to 1 AUP faculty members represent 15 nationalities, all are at least bilingual, and most of them hold a doctoral degree from the world's most distinguished graduate schools.  

 

 

 

 

Both the academic excellence and the international dimension of AUP’s programs have been important advantages for our graduates in gaining admission to top graduate programs, as well as in pursuing career opportunities in the U.S.A., France, Europe, and elsewhere around the world.

 

The American University of Paris is located in one of the most cosmopolitan neighborhoods of Paris, a European capital where business, diplomacy, culture, literature, and aesthetics all converge. As the crossroads of Europe, it has seen and led the sweep of political history, from monarchy to revolution, from Bonaparte to the European Union.

 

Located very near the Eiffel Tower, and within walking distance of the Champs-Elysées, the Louvre, and the famous Quartier Latin, AUP students fully participate in the intellectual, cultural and social life of the "City of Light".
