Preparing for GW

 During your year at AUP will choose courses across a wide range of subjects. Your AUP courses fulfill GW general education requirements and will transfer when you continue at GW for the start of your sophomore year.  For example, taking four 4-credit courses each semester at AUP you will earn 32 transferrable semester credits that convey to GW. Below you will find more specific details on GW transfer recommendations and examples of AUP courses you may choose.

You will enroll in four 4-credit courses in each of both semesters during your first year at AUP, earning 32 semester credits. GW endorses the AUP courses you will be offered, so you are assured that your AUP credits will transfer and fulfill equivalent coursework in the GW General Education Curriculum or GW elective credit.

AUP offers a large selection of courses that will fulfill GW transfer recommendations. In the Paris Scholars Program you may choose the unique opportunity to explore several courses that incorporate Paris, France or Europe into the curriculum across a wide range of disciplines: history, political science, business, art history, and social sciences for example. And of course you may choose to build French language skills, or choose among several other languages offered at AUP.

Paris Scholar Program students will pre-register for courses online during the summer and prior to arrival. AUP will contact you about this process in May or June.

 Following your year at AUP in the Paris Scholars Program, GW will automatically admit students who meet the following conditions:

• Completion of 32 transferable semester units in the program.
• A first-year cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, with no individual grade below C.
• Completion of at least two AUP courses fulfilling GW’s general education requirements. 

Your advisor at registration in the Paris Scholars Program will ensure that you have access to sufficient courses to exceed this requirement.

Your AUP academic advisor will be familiar with the conditions of your intended transfer to GW through the Paris Scholars Program.
