The American University of Paris

For every plan to build a wall,

there's an AUP student with

a plan to build a bridge.

Bridges are a powerful symbol. They can bring people together in pursuit of a common goal. They can reach out to people in difficult situations to offer much needed help. They can connect people across communities to share vital knowledge and skills.

As walls go up across the world, students at The American University of Paris build bridges every day. Bridges between languages and cultures as part of a diverse student body. Bridges that connect their own desire for learning with a world of information. Bridges to where the most vulnerable in society need to go. AUP prepares students to be change-makers and global citizens, ready to embark on international careers.

For nearly 60 years, AUP has been a launchpad for students who want to open their minds to new perspectives and learn from diverse communities. A global liberal arts education teaches students how differences can be things that unite rather than divide. By taking learning beyond the classroom and emphasizing international experiences, the University presents students with a world of opportunity – inspiring them to build bridges to their own futures.
