- Overview
The American University of Paris (commonly referred to as AUP) is a private, independent, and accredited liberal arts and sciences university in Paris, France. Founded in 1962, the university is the oldest American institution of higher education in Europe. The university campus consists of eight buildings, centrally located in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, on the Left Bank near the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, and the Seine. [1]
AUP’s mission is to educate generations of academic, social, political, intellectual, and business citizens of the world, and to enhance the advancement of scholarship in the arts and sciences in an international, multicultural, and plural environment. [1]
The university's language of instruction is English, although students must prove a level of proficiency in French prior to graduation. The university has approximately one thousand students, representing over a hundred nationalities, with an average student-to-faculty ratio of eighteen to one. The university's faculty members represent over fifteen nationalities, with eighty percent holding doctoral degrees. [1]
The university sponsors more than two hundred lectures and seminars every year, exposing students to a wide range of topics. Past lecturers at AUP have included Jane Goodall, National Geographic photojournalist Reza, and Calvin Klein. Additionally, the university has hosted ten international conferences, inviting an aggregate of over a thousand scholars, including Gary Becker, Nobel Prize-recipient of Economics in 1992, mayor of Leningrad scholar and Russian legislator Anatoly Sobchak, and Michel Rocard, the former Prime Minister of France.
