For more than 60 years, The American University of Paris (AUP) has empowered students from all over the world to forge their own path. AUP is an independent, accredited international university located in the center of Paris, France. AUP’s global liberal arts education offers students the flexibility to pursue their own personal learning journey, including the choice of 28 bachelor’s and 7 master’s program.
AUP launches vibrant, confident individuals with the curiosity to explore, the passion to engage, and the capability to lead. They graduate with the critical thinking, cross-cultural communication, and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in meaningful international careers––joining AUP’s global network of 23,000 alumni in 145 countries. ?
AUP is small but culturally diverse–with around 1200 students representing more than 100 nationalities. Each student brings their own unique background and perspective to the classroom, creating a learning environment where students can engage with and learn from a variety of worldviews. Through small class sizes; interdisciplinary, hands-on teaching; and close faculty mentorship, the intellectual and professional development of each individual student is at the core of AUP’s curriculum. Professors are experts in their field who encourage students to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world experiences through study trips, research projects and internships. AUP’s interdisciplinary approach enables students to consider problems from multiple perspectives from across the humanities, arts, and social and natural sciences.?
AUP’s campus in the 7th arrondissement, made up of seven modern buildings, places students right in the center of a bustling, cosmopolitan European capital filled with art, culture and history. Paris is at the heart of the educational experience at AUP, serving as an extension of its campus. Long celebrated as a global hub for enlightened thought, Paris continues to inspire innovation and creativity across disciplines—from literature and philosophy to business, the arts, science and technology. It remains a city where individuals come to shine bright, do their best work, and embark on transformative journeys. In this context, AUP’s global liberal arts education fosters engaged research and scholarship, encouraging students to seek learning opportunities all over the city. From visits to world-renowned museums and international organizations to interning at dynamic startups and volunteering with social justice initiatives, the city offers countless ways for students to learn beyond the classroom.?
