Established as a liberal arts college in 1962, The American University of Paris is an independent, international university located at the meeting point of France, Europe and the world. Our degree programs bring together the best elements of the American liberal arts model—small, discussion-based classes; a collaborative relationship between students and faculty; and a special emphasis on critical thinking—with the cultural, social, and professional opportunities of one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities. Located in the center of Paris, AUP is perfectly situated to help you embark upon your journey of discovery.
