Meet the Faculty

There’s no getting around it: our professors are amazing. Not only do they come from world-renowned schools, not only are they international – both in terms of where they’ve come from and where they’ve been – but they’re also excited to meet you, teach you, hear your ideas and guide you on your path to a meaningful career. Our professors will act as both mentors and collaborators, as they push you to question and reflect, while engaging with you on projects that will bring you into contact with other disciplines, professions, and institutions, in Paris and beyond.

The GPS Program

The Global Professional Skills (GPS) Program provides you with the opportunity to sharpen critically important skills and develop your own personal narrative throughout college that will benefit your life post-AUP.

As an undergraduate, degree-seeking student, you will be encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities during your time at AUP – whether it's volunteering with an international NGO, interning with your dream fashion designer, or participating in one of AUP's many clubs. Through these activities, you generate your Co-Curricular Record (CCR) that registers all of your activities from semester to semester and connects them with your transcript to boost your career prospects after graduation.
