Degree Requirements & Worksheets

Degree requirements are the courses, internships and other academic steps that are required to graduate with a specific degree. Please make sure to review the requirements for your specific major, minor or graduate degree.

Global Liberal Arts Core Curriculum

Undergraduate students at The American University of Paris are also required to complete a core curriculum program to develop the foundations of general knowledge on which their majors are built. The core curriculum includes four subject areas that can be satisfied through different courses at AUP and a capstone project. Undergraduate transfer students can also apply some of their transfer credits towards these requirements.

• Integrative Inquiry for the Global Explorer (4 CCI courses/16 credits | The Experiential Learning component will be introduced in Fall 2020)
• Critical Inquiry and Expression (EN1010 and EN2020(CCE)/8 credits | The Digital Literacy and Communication and Disciplinary Research Methods and Writing components will be introduced in Fall 2020)
• Quantitative and Experimental Reasoning (2 courses (one CCM and one CCS)/8 credits)
• Expression Française (FR1100 and FR1200CCF/8 credits)
• AUP Capstone (starting in Fall 2020)

In addition, our first-year students join our innovative FirstBridge learning communities when they arrive at the University. FirstBridge is a selection of paired interdisciplinary courses that take different approaches to issues such as global warming, artificial intelligence, human rights or visual thinking.
