Academic Affairs Office

Under the leadership of Provost Dr. William Fisher, the Office of Academic Affairs works collaboratively with all constituents of the University to promote and sustain intellectual activity, teaching, and learning at AUP.

Serving the academic community

We support the entire academic endeavor of The American University of Paris. We concern ourselves daily with the needs of students and faculty, both the administration and innovation of the curriculum, and matters as small as substitution forms and as monumental as our ten-year accreditation renewal. Virtually all of the academic functions of the University fall within our purview.

Our mission to serve the academic community of AUP includes the following activities:

• organizing faculty governance and faculty support, including help to carry out the functions of teaching, research, and governance
• providing information to offices through institutional research
• monitoring aspects of academic life, such as assessment, student learning, curricular review, and reporting
• providing resources for grantmakers and partners looking to collaborate with the University (see below)
