Summer School

Given the unprecedented global challenge we face in combatting the COVID-19 virus AUP has made the very difficult decision to forego our on-campus Summer 2020 offerings for visiting students. We are all saddened that we will not be able to welcome you to our vibrant campus and city this summer, but we look forward to a brighter Summer 2021 when we hope to resume our courses.

AUP’s Summer Institutes allow you to immerse yourself in French culture and history while earning credits towards your degree or as part of your continuing education through class audits. AUP Summer School is organized into interdisciplinary institutes that provide the ideal mixture of intensive learning in class and creative exploration of Paris, combining the best of our academic programs with excursions and events around the city. Whether you take one class or a few, you will get to experience the best of what both AUP and Paris have to offer. 

During your summer at AUP, you’ll engage in lively discussions, in-depth language study, and intensive workshops with professors and students from around the world. Our course offerings fall under seven institutes:
