AUP offers an innovative pedagogical model, integrating classroom learning and hands-on experience, which prepares students to master and to make, to reflect and to apply, to analyze and to act. Our mission is to educate our graduates to communicate well in a world of many languages, to think critically about history, culture, the arts, science, politics, business, communication, and society, to develop creative interdisciplinary approaches to important contemporary challenges, to be both technologically and culturally literate in a world of swift-paced change, to understand the ethical imperatives of living in such a world, and to take their places as responsible actors in communities, civil societies, and countries around the globe.

University Grants and Loans

University Financial Assistance
(under the monthly payment plan) must be paid to the Bursar's Ofce for the student to be allowed to register. The American University of Paris Ofce of Financial Assistance is available to help students access a variety of funding programs to contribute towards University fees and living expenses. Eligibility for each program varies, and is based on a students academic standing, level of nancial need and in the case of loans, the students nationality.

In keeping with our mission to educate students from all over the world, AUP offers a program of University-funded tuition grants awarded after evaluating a students academic strength and the familys nancial circumstances. Entering freshmen, transfer, and graduate students are eligible to apply. To be considered for a tuition grant, applicants must be admitted to the University and submit the nancial aid application and required supporting documentation in a timely manner. Students must attend full-time and maintain the required Grade Point Average to retain their tuition grant from semester to semester. Students who drop below full-time will lose their tuition grant except those who are in their nal semester of study. Students are required to le a new nancial aid application with supporting documents annually.

Tuition Grants

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) with Respect to Financial Aid

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is evaluated twice each year in January and June. Failure to maintain satisfactory progress as described below may result in cancellation of nancial aid awards. This policy applies only to eligible US and eligible non-US citizens receiving Title IV aid, specically the Federal Stafford and PLUS loans. General AUP nancial aid eligibility is outlined separately. Basic Standard for Satisfactory Performance: Undergraduate students receiving student loans must meet AUPs institutional requirements for minimum satisfactory performance as well as the following: 1. Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA). The student must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. 2. Minimum completion rate. The student must maintain a minimum cumulative completion rate of two-thirds of credits attempted (67%). 3. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in order to keep the academic scholarship. 4. Federally mandated maximum time frame to complete the program/degree. Students must complete their educational program within a time frame no longer than 150% of the published length of the educational program (for example, a student would be ineligible after attempting 192 credits for a 128-credit program). Federal regulations require that the University track the academic progress of student loan recipients from the rst date of enrollment at AUP , whether or not student loans were received at that time. Credits transferred from all other credit sources will be considered as attempted and completed credits in the evaluation of the completion rate standards, but these courses do not affect the calculation of the GPA. Students who have completed their degree requirements, but who are still attending courses, are not eligible to continue to receive aid even if they are below the maximum time frame.

New freshman and transfer students admitted to AUP with the following academic records will receive an academic scholarship which can be combined with a traditional need-based tuition grant. Awarding only takes place at the time of admission by the students admission counselor and the scholarships are in the amounts of 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 per year, depending on the applicants overall credentials.

Academic Scholarships

Various Financial Aid Policies

AUP requires that all tuition grant recipients reapply each year and maintain a minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA. To request nancial assistance for the rst time, current AUP students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.

Veterans Educational Benefits

Eligible participants for the US Military Veterans Educational Benets program may receive support for their studies at AUP . For details on the programs, contact the VA at +1-888-GIBILL-1.

All citizens and permanent residents of the United States who are enrolled and degree-seeking at the University may be eligible to apply for Federal Stafford and PLUS loans. Applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which can be done online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The US Department of Education number for The American University of Paris is G07881. Certication of loan eligibility by the Financial Aid Ofce does not guarantee the loan. If a student applies for a loan sufcient to pay the entire semester's tuition and fees, and the loan has not been approved by the bank at the time of registration, a minimum payment equivalent to the rst monthly payment

United States Federal Government Loans

Treatment of W, IN, AU, F, & R Grades, no Grade Reported, and Repeated Course Work

1. Course withdrawals (W) after the Drop/Add period are not included in the GPA calculation but are considered a noncompletion of attempted course work. 2. Incomplete (IN) grades are not included in the GPA calculation, and are considered a non-completion of attempted course work until the Incomplete grade is replaced with a permanent grade and academic progress can be re-evaluated. In all cases where no grade is assigned, an IN grade will be used to determine satisfactory academic progress. 3. An audit (AU) grade is not considered attempted course work. It is neither included in the GPA calculation nor in completion rate calculations.

4. Grades of F are treated as attempted credits that were not earned, and so are included in both the calculation of GPA and minimum completion rate. 5. For a course that is repeated (R), the GPA computation will take account of the most recent grade earned, but every repeated attempt will be included in the completion rate calculations.

Students who fail to meet the minimum 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average standard, or who fail to complete at least two-thirds of cumulative credits attempted, will be placed on Student Loan Probation for the subsequent semesters/terms of enrollment until the next evaluation of Satisfactory Academic Progress (January and June). Student loans can be received during the semester/term of probation. Student loan disbursements for the next period of enrollment will be held until the grades and course completions have been reviewed for the semester/term of Student Loan Probation.

Student Loan Probation Status

For details on grades and credits see page 14.

The student must submit an appeal of Student Loan Denied status in writing to the Supervisor of Financial Aid by the date specified in the Student Loan Denied notification letter. The Financial Aid Office will review the appeal and notify the student in writing of its decision within 14 working days after the Review. All decisions made by the Financial Aid Office are final.

Appeal Process

While students are on Student Loan Probation or on Student Loan Denied status, they must maintain the minimum completion rate and/or a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Failing to do so will place a student on Student Loan Denied status for subsequent semesters/terms of enrollment. No financial aid will be disbursed during subsequent semesters/terms until the student is removed from Student Loan Denied status. Students failing to satisfy the 150% requirement will also be placed on Student Loan Denied status. No aid will be disbursed during subsequent semesters/terms unless the student has made an appeal and the appeal is granted for that semester/term. There are no exceptions to this requirement. Students in a 128-credit bachelor degree program who have attempted in excess of 192 credits including transfer credits are no longer eligible for financial aid. There is no probationary period once the 150% standard has been exceeded.

Student Loan Denied Status

Students are responsible for following the Universitys withdrawal procedures as outlined under Withdrawal from the University in the Academic Affairs section of this catalog. The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act requires the University to calculate a return of Title IV funds (these are the Federal Stafford and PLUS Loan programs) on all federal financial aid students who withdraw (officially or unofficially) from all classes on or before the 60-percent attendance point in the semester. A pro-rata schedule is used to determine the percentage of the semester attended by a student, and is based on the withdrawal date/last date of attendance. The number of days counted includes all calendar days in the semester, excluding University breaks that exceed four days in length. The percentage of the semester attended by the student is used to determine the amount of earned versus unearned federal aid funds. The order of return is Federal Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Subsidized Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, and other Title IV aid. AUP is required to return its portion of unearned Title IV aid to the appropriate Federal program within 30 days of the date that the student withdraws from classes. Withdrawing from classes means that a student may not receive further financial aid disbursements, may have to repay some or all of the aid that has already been disbursed, and will be personally responsible for payment of any charges for tuition and fees that are due.

Return of Title IV Funds

Reinstatement of Aid after Student Loan Denied Status

Reinstatement of financial aid after a student is placed on Student Loan Denied status is achieved in one of the following ways: 1. The student submits a written letter of appeal in accordance with the appeal process, and Financial Assistance grants the appeal. The student is placed on Student Loan Probation for the semester/term rather than on Student Loan Denied status. 2. The student attends AUP and pays for tuition and fees without the help of student financial aid and does well enough in the course work to meet all the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. The student regains aid eligibility with probationary status. Students on Student Loan Denied status for failure to meet the 150% requirement cannot regain eligibility this way. Students whose attempted credits have exceeded 150% of their program cannot regain financial aid eligibility except through the appeals process and on a semester-by-semester basis.

description of the coverage for outpatient and hospital care, as well as repatriation and return of mortal remains. The appropriate documents must be submitted to the Health Care Coordinator within the two rst weeks of classes; no exceptions will be made. Documents received after this date will not be accepted, and students will be charged the full price for health insurance. A certain number of documents will be required from every incoming degree-seeking student for their afliation with the French Social Security. A comprehensive list is available on MyAUP: http://my.aup.edu/group/health-and-wellness/healthcare-plan Health insurance is automatically renewed from semester to semester. If a student's health insurance changes during the course of study at AUP , he/she is responsible for notifying the Health Care Coordinator of such a change. Housing Insurance French law requires that all renters have housing insurance. Students housed through the Housing Ofce are automatically billed for renter's insurance; other students may request this insurance as well. Housing insurance is automatically renewed each semester, unless an exemption request form is submitted to the Bursar's Ofce at the beginning of the semester. Overdue, Lost, or Damaged Library Materials Students are responsible for library materials borrowed against their AUP student identication card. Fees are charged for damaged, lost or unreturned materials at the end of each semester. Unpaid overdue nes block further loans; nes of 15 euros and over will be billed by the Bursar's Ofce. Further details regarding these nes are available through the University Library.

Full-time Tuition Fee Full-time tuition (12-16 credits) covers basic tuition for four courses per semester. Credits taken beyond this normal course load will be charged at the part-time rate per credit hour. One- or two-credit courses may be taken as a fth course without an overload fee; only one of these options may be taken per semester. The following student services are also covered by full-time tuition: Student Activities Academic Support Services Housing Service Part-time Tuition Fee Part-time students' tuition (fewer than 12 credits) is determined on a per-credit basis. Auditor Fee Auditors pay a reduced fee determined on a per-credit basis.

Other Required Payments

Application Fee The non-refundable Application Fee must be sent with the Application Form. For more information, consult the AUP Web site. Conrmation Deposit Upon acceptance by the University, new students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit that is credited toward the rst semester's tuition. If students conrm and then fail to register for the semester for which they have reserved a place, the deposit is forfeited. New students will receive invoices once they pay the conrmation deposit and submit the Bursar's Payment Option Form. The conrmation deposit will be deducted from the refunds of new students who withdraw during the full-refund period. Orientation and Advising Fee The Orientation fee covers all activities that occur during the Orientation Program of a student's rst semester including academic advising, course registration, workshops, cultural activities, materials, and temporary housing during Orientation. Health Insurance The University is legally responsible for ensuring that all full-time students have adequate health insurance coverage. Degree seeking students are automatically enrolled in, and billed for, the comprehensive and mandatory plan arranged for by the University. Health care plan details can be found online on MyAUP at: http://my.aup.edu/group/health-and-wellness/healthcare-plan. Visiting students are also automatically enrolled in, and billed for, the comprehensive and mandatory plan arranged for by the University unless the student can provide a certied proof of private comprehensive health insurance coverage valid in France, which includes medical coverage equivalent to AUP's Student Health Care Plan. The document should include the name of the student, the dates of coverage, and a

Payment Procedures and Policies

The Bursar's Ofce maintains all nancial records which are linked to tuition and fees for students. Each AUP student has an account that reects all required charges and payments. Financial Responsibility Students and/or their Financially Responsible Person (FRP) are accountable for full payment of tuition and fees by the deadlines indicated by the Bursar's Ofce. The FRP is the individual who has agreed to be nancially responsible for a student's University expenses. The FRP receives all invoices and nancial notices and is liable for all fees. To change the FRP , students should contact the Registrar's Ofce; to change the FRP before their arrival on campus, they should contact their admissions counselor. Payment Due Dates Full-time and part-time tuition, along with any other required fees, must be paid in full prior to or at registration for each semester. The only exception to full payment concerns students opting for the Monthly Payment Plan (available to full-time students only). Students will not be allowed to register if payment has not been made.

Monthly Payment Plan Full-time students may apply to pay on the Monthly Payment Plan. This plan has four monthly payments each semester; the rst installment must be paid before registration and the subsequent installments are due during the semester. All nontuition fees must be included with the rst month's payment. A service fee is charged for the monthly plan. Semester Payment Plan Full-time students may opt to pay one-half of the annual amount of tuition prior to the start of each semester. Students who do not pay for the entire semester's tuition prior to the beginning of the semester are automatically enrolled in the Monthly Payment Plan. Yearly Payment Plan Full-time students may pay for a full academic year (Fall and Spring semesters). Payment must be received prior to Fall semester registration. Students using this plan benet from a tuition reduction. Students receiving a University tuition grant are not eligible for this tuition reduction. Yearly payments are not accepted during the Spring semester. Note: Part-time students are not eligible for any of the payment plans; they must pay for the semester in full. Currency of Payment Student accounts are maintained in Euros and all students must pay their tuition and fees in Euros (with the exception of US loan checks which are deposited directly into the student account). Methods of Payment Fees may be paid on-line at www.aup.edu: Choose IT Services, Quick links, on-line payments, and then follow the instructions. Fees may also be paid by personal eurocheck, bank check, wire transfer, money order, traveler's checks, or cash. Credit card payments (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express) can only be processed in Euros. Special Fees These include Re-registration Fee, Duplicate Diploma fee, Check Collection Fee, Returned Check Fee, and other various processing fees. When appropriate, they are charged by the Bursar's Ofce directly to the student's account. Interest Charges and Collection Fees Student accounts are charged interest at the rate of 1% per month on any outstanding negative balance, calculated on a daily basis. For students on a monthly payment plan the 1% interest charge will not go into effect until the end of the semester on any unpaid balance. Delinquent Student Accounts Delinquent student accounts will be sent to a collection agency for recovery. The collection agency will charge a fee up to 35% on any unpaid balance. Non-payment of Fees The Bursar's Ofce reserves the right to withdraw students from their classes in the event of non-payment of fees.

Payment Plan Options

there are no outstanding obligations to the Library, the Bookstore, or the Housing, Cultural Programs, Student Affairs, Multimedia, or Bursar's Offices at the end of a semester or academic year Transcripts and grades will not be issued to a student whose account is not in good financial standing. Students will be refused re-enrollment for the following semesters and summer session, until all debts are cleared.

Only students whose accounts are in good standing may use the following services: Emergency Cash Fund The Bursar's Office maintains a special emergency fund for students in need of quick cash. Students may borrow up to 100. Emergency Cash Fund loans not repaid in cash within two weeks incur a 1 per day late charge. The Emergency Cash Fund service stops three weeks before the end of the semester and is not available during the summer. Emergency Loan For unexpected situations or emergencies requiring more than the 100 Emergency Cash Fund, the Dean of Student Services can authorize emergency loans to be paid directly to the student and charged to the student's account. To receive an emergency loan, a student's Financially Responsible Person must submit a letter or fax authorizing the loan, and the student's account must be in good standing. Check Countersigning Service The University has a special arrangement with one exchange agency allowing students to cash personal US dollar checks countersigned by the Bursar's Office. One check for a maximum of US$ 600 can be countersigned every two weeks. The service stops three weeks before the end of the semester and is not available during the summer.

Other Financial Information

Withdrawal and Refunds

Withdrawal from a Course Full-time registered students who drop to part-time status by the end of the Drop/Add week will receive an appropriate adjustment to their tuition charges. Full-time students who withdraw from a course after the Drop/Add week will not be given tuition refunds. Part-time students who drop from a course during the Drop/Add week will receive a refund according to the Tuition Refund Schedule. Withdrawal from the University All students who wish to withdraw from the University must notify the Registrar of the University in writing prior to the first day of Registration. Tuition refunds are calculated on a percentage basis dependent upon the official date of withdrawal. Students who withdraw during the Fall semester when payment has been made for the full year forfeit their right to the yearly tuition reduction. New students who withdraw during the full-refund period, prior to the first day of classes, will have the non-refundable Confirmation Deposit and the Orientation fee (once they have checked in at Orientation) deducted from their refunds.

A student's account is considered in good nancial standing when both of the following conditions are met: all payment plan agreements have been respected or the account shows a positive balance

Good Financial Standing

Catalog 201112

Withdrawal from the University does not release the Financially Responsible Person from tuition obligations. All outstanding debts, including those related to the termination of the Monthly Payment Plan, are due in full within thirty days of the official withdrawal date. Students who receive University service grants and then withdraw will forfeit their right to receive the grant; however, the applicable portion of the grant will be credited to the student's account. Students who are awarded a University tuition grant and then withdraw from the University will receive refunds calculated based on the full-time tuition fee less the grant amount awarded, according to the Tuition Refund Schedule. Example: A student receiving a 1525 grant, withdrawing during the rst 2 weeks of classes, would receive a tuition rebate of: 60% x [Full-time Tuition Fee - 1525].

Students who have received Title IV loan funds through the Department of Education and then withdraw from the University are subject to the return policy outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (34CFR668.22). Part-time students withdrawing before the rst day of classes will be charged a processing fee. Any questions of a nancial nature not covered in this catalog should be addressed to: The Bursar's Ofce The American University of Paris 102, rue Saint Dominique 75007 Paris, France Tel: (33-1) 40.62.07.10/11

Academic Affairs
Student Status
Full-time Status Full-time students usually complete their Bachelors degree in four years by taking 16 credits each semester to earn a total of 128 credits (see Graduation Requirements, page 21). Full-time students who withdraw from classes and are enrolled in fewer than 12 credits after the Drop/Add period maintain their full-time status and are not granted partial refunds of tuition. Full-time, degree-seeking students may petition the Registrar to change their status to part-time after at least one semester of full-time enrollment and before a new semester begins. The Registrar will examine their requests between semesters and only after having received written agreement from each students Financially Responsible Person. Full-time students may audit one course per semester by permission of the Registrar and the instructor concerned. Audit petition forms must be submitted to the Registrar during the Drop/Add period at the beginning of each semester. Audited courses will appear on students transcripts. Part-time Status Students registered in fewer than 12 credits per semester, including courses audited, are considered part-time students. Tuition for part-time study is calculated on a per-credit basis. Part-time students must be 18 or older and have successfully completed secondary education. Non-native speakers of English must also submit TOEFL scores of at least 101 on the iBT or the equivalent. Part-time students are not eligible for student visas (except if their status is due to a registered internship within the context of full-time study) and The American University of Paris cannot assist students who do not have the correct visa in gaining French resident status. Part-time study does not qualify students for financial aid from the University or a convention de stage in order to work in French companies. There are three categories for part-time study: Part-time degree-seeking students must apply through the AUP Admissions Office by submitting the regular application along with supporting documents to be considered for acceptance into the University. This status is deemed exceptional as the University encourages full-time study. These students have the right to academically related AUP services (advising, registration, etc.) but do not participate in orientation, are not eligible for AUP housing, nor other nonacademically related student services. They may pre-register for their classes. They may petition the Registrar for full-time status at the beginning of any semester. Part-time, credit-seeking, non-degree students are welcome to enroll in courses on a space-available basis provided they have satised any applicable prerequisites prior to this. These students must submit the part-time study application along with an ofcial copy of their last transcript and may preregister for their classes. If they wish to change their status to degreeseeking, they must apply to the University through the AUP Admissions Ofce. Auditor Status (Auditeur Libre) is designed to meet the needs of the adult community in the Paris area. Persons accepted in this category may audit up to 11 credits per semester. Auditors pay reduced tuition (for all but participatory art, language, science, computer science, or 400-level courses) but do not accumulate academic credit. The grading of exams, assignments, term papers, etc., for auditors is left to the discretion of the instructor. Auditors register in person in courses on a space-available basis during walk-in registration at the beginning of each semester and upon presentation of a valid piece of photo-ID (e.g. passport, carte nationale didentit). Visiting Student Status Visiting students may apply to attend AUP for a semester or a year.

Special Academic Programs and Study Options

Academic Advising All full-time and part-time students are assigned a faculty member as an academic advisor. The AUP advising program is designed to closely follow each student's academic progress. Freshmen will be advised by the faculty member who is teaching their FirstBridge course during the rst year at AUP . During the second year of study, or before the student has declared a major, an advisor from the Advising Center will be assigned. ARC Seminars As students in the English Foundation Program move into AUP's general curriculum, they may elect to take student-facilitated support seminars attached to entry-level courses. The ARC seminars focus on study skills, note-taking, paper and exam preparation, and public speaking. Successful upper-division students in the majors lead students enrolled in the ARC seminars. Directed Study Directed Study allows the exceptional degree-seeking student to work in an area of special academic interest under the direct supervision of a faculty member. The student is expected to develop his or her topic in close collaboration with the faculty supervisor. Students with a minimum of junior standing and a GPA of 3.0 are eligible. Directed Study projects may not be taken on a Credit/No Credit basis. The successfully completed project may earn one to four credits; a student may take no more than one Directed Study in a given semester, and submit no more than eight Directed Study credits for graduation. Completed Directed Study forms must be submitted to the Registrar by the end of the Drop/Add period. The English for University Studies Program (For details concerning this program, see page 41) The English Foundation Program (For details concerning this program, see page 35) Internships The AUP Internship Program offers students the opportunity to acquire professional experience while earning academic credit. In addition to what is typically a 10- to 20-hour workweek, the student must fulfill certain academic requirements. Academic internships earn 1, 3, or 4 credits per semester on a Credit/No Credit basis. For some majors, internships are required; in others, they may be pursued as elective or departmental credits. Undergraduate students may apply up to 4 internship credits toward graduation. Students participating in internships
11

Catalog 201112

are expected to be in good academic standing, have upperclass standing, and demonstrate personal maturity. The Internship/Career Development Office maintains listings of internship opportunities in a variety of domains and assists students in their search, but students are responsible for obtaining their own internships. A non-credit internship option is available to currently enrolled degree-seeking students who have completed a minimum of 32 university credits (specific conditions and fees apply). In order to facilitate the transition to the world of work, a graduating senior may choose to pursue this option when all degree requirements have been met but prior to receiving his or her diploma. In this case, the student has to defer graduation and will be considered a graduate of the semester when the internship is registered. However the duration of the internship must not exceed six months after the end of the student's final academic semester. Once they have graduated, . students are no longer eligible to pursue an internship with AUP More information on the AUP Internship Program is available on the AUP Web site under the heading Student Life. Language Study at Another Institution Undergraduate students who wish to study a language not offered at AUP , or who are prepared for very advanced level work, may register at another institution (Universit de ParisSorbonne, Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales, Goethe Institut, Centro di Lingua e Cultura Italiana, Association Culturelle Franco-Japonaise, Instituto Cervantes, Cmara Oficial de Comercio de Espaa, Centre Culturel Arabe Syrien or Centre Culturel de Chine). A minimum GPA of 2.8 is required. All external language courses are taken on a "Credit/No Credit" basis. For more information, please consult the Internship Office. Cooperative Program with 'la Sorbonne' Every semester, a number of students with requisite proficiency in French are enrolled in selected courses in cultural and social history taught at the Universit de Paris IV Sorbonne. The students also meet regularly with an AUP faculty member who sets academic exercises and determines the final grade, which is entered on the AUP transcript. Study Abroad AUP students are welcome to spend one or two semesters in an approved AUP study abroad program at New York University, (NYU has Global sites in: Buenos Aires, Florence, London and Shanghai); Salve Regina University (Rhode Island); The University of Miami (Florida); Goizueta Business School of Emory University (Atlanta, GA); The University of Cape Town (South Africa); Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts (New York); Central European University (Budapest, Hungary); or at The American University of Cairo (Egypt). Individual arrangements are also possible with other universities. For more information please consult the Office of Academic Advising. Students participating in an approved AUP study abroad program are charged AUP tuition, and those receiving financial aid will retain their financial aid. The Study Abroad Office will assist students with their application to the host institution. Candidates for study abroad may transfer a maximum of 36 semester credit hours towards their graduation. Some restrictions apply (see Transfer of Academic Credit, page 5). Students who study abroad outside of an approved AUP study abroad program pay tuition to their host institution, however; they do not retain their AUP financial aid, and the Study Abroad Office is not available for assistance. Students studying

outside the approved study abroad programs are limited to a total of 18 transferable semester credit hours from all sources towards their graduation requirements. Some restrictions apply (see Transfer of Academic Credit, page 5). All AUP students wishing to study abroad for one semester or one year must request permission from the Ofce of the Registrar prior to their departure. By doing so they will retain privileges and rights of AUP students. They will therefore be allowed to pre-register before they return to AUP provided they have given the Registrar's Ofce a contact address. Students whose request for study abroad has been approved do not need to re-apply in order to return to AUP (see Credit Earned Outside the University, page 13). The University also has established formal agreements to receive students from George Washington University (Washington D.C.), Goizueta Business School of Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia), Lesley University (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Loyola University (Baltimore, Maryland), Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts), New England College (Henniker, New Hampshire), Salve Regina University (Rhode Island), The University of Denver (Colorado), The University of Miami (Florida), The University of Oslo (Oslo, Norway), Tulane University (New Orleans, Louisiana), Westmont College (Santa Barbara, California), CIS (Madrid, Spain), The University of Cape Town (South Africa), Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts (New York), The Fashion Institute of Technology (New York), The University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, Texas) and The American University of Cairo (Egypt) allowing their students to attend AUP as visitors.

Graduate Programs

AUP offers seven master's degrees: the Master of Arts in International Affairs, Conict Resolution, and Civil Society Development; the Master of Arts in Global Communications; the Master of Arts in Middle East and Islamic Studies; the Master of Public Policy and International Affairs; the Master of Arts in Cross-Cultural and Sustainable Business Management; the Master of Public Policy and International Law; and the Master of Arts in Cultural Translation. In addition, the University awards combined degrees in two areas: The Master of Arts in Middle East and Islamic Studies and International Affairs, and the Master of Arts in Global Communications and Civil Society. More detailed information on each of these programs appears on the AUP Web site: www.aup.edu/graduate and in the Graduate Student Handbook.

Academic Procedures and Policies

Placement Tests During Orientation, all entering freshmen and transfer students are required to take placement tests in English, French, and mathematics.

Visiting students must take the French Placement Test if they intend to register for French courses, and the Mathematics Placement Test if they plan to register for classes in mathematics. These tests allow the University to place students at the proper level in these subjects. Placement test results do not appear on any ofcial record. Registration Registration dates are shown on the University Calendar. Instructions for registration are issued to all students prior to the

12

beginning of each semester. A Late Registration Fee is charged to students who do not register during walk-through registration. Only students in good nancial standing are permitted to register (see also Good Financial Standing, page 9). Pre-registration Returning students may, after consultation with their academic advisors, pre-register for classes for the following semester through the Registrar's Ofce. Both the student's academic advisor and the student must sign pre-registration forms. The two-week pre-registration period is preceded by a two-week advising period. The dates and times of the pre-registration period are announced and posted during the academic year. Registration Check-in All students must return to campus and check in at the Registrar's Ofce by the end of the second day of classes. Students who do not meet this deadline will have their classes cancelled and they will have to re-register during Drop/Add, paying a substantial late re-registration penalty of 102 per credit hour. There is no guarantee that students can re-register in the courses from which they were dropped. Course Load The normal course load is four academic courses per semester. The minimum course load for full-time students is 12 credits. Upon petition, a student who has earned a cumulative GPA of at least 2.80 in courses taken at AUP may be permitted to register for ve academic courses. Students may not petition for an overload in their rst semester at the AUP . Course Overload Petitions are available from the Registrar's Ofce. Tuition is charged for the fth course at the part-time per credit rate. Students may pursue a one- or two-credit course without paying an overload charge. Classication of Students Students are classied as follows, according to the number of semester hours they have completed: Freshman: 1 - 31 Junior: 64 - 95 Sophomore: 32 - 63 Senior: 96 or more Student Identication Cards At registration, each student receives a University Student Identication Card. This card is necessary for access to all University facilities. Loss of this card during the year should be reported immediately to the Registrar; a fee will be charged for replacement of a lost card. Student cards are issued for regularly enrolled students; students withdrawing from the University must return their cards to the Registrar's Ofce. Course Substitution Policy and Waiver of Degree Requirements Students may submit a Substitution Petition: to obtain permission to substitute a course for a specic major requirement, minor requirement or General Education requirement Students may submit a Waiver Petition: to request to waive completely an AUP degree requirement. In general, course waivers are extremely rare and are accompanied by extensive supporting documentation, typically examination. Please consult the Ofce of the Registrar for additional information. Students requesting to substitute a course taken at a previous institution for an AUP degree requirement or to waive an AUP degree requirement based on previous course work or

experience must do so (and have the request approved) by the end of the rst year of enrollment at AUP. Students must supply the necessary supporting documents from the previous institution (appropriate catalog, course description, or syllabus) or organization. The student's academic advisor, the chair of the department offering the course (as well as the chair of the department imposing the major/minor requirement if it is not housed within the same department) to be substituted, and the Dean of Academic Administration must approve substitutions and/or waivers. Substitution/Waiver petitions are available from the Ofce of the Registrar. Credit by Examination The University does not provide for credit by departmental examination, nor does it recognize such credit granted by other colleges or universities. Credit Earned Outside the University Students who have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and who wish to take courses for credit outside the University, whether as part of a study abroad program, during summer school at another university, during a vacation break, or while taking a leave of absence from AUP , must secure written permission from the University Registrar prior to taking the intended courses. Otherwise, these credits will not be approved for transfer back to AUP . Exceptions will be granted only in cases of severe hardship and at the discretion of the Registrar in consultation with the Ofce of Academic Affairs. Any credits retroactively approved upon appeal to the Registrar will carry a fee equal to one-half of the normal tuition charged per credit. Procedure for securing permission to earn credit outside the University: Students wishing at any time to earn credit outside the University may obtain an External Course Approval and Permission Form from the Registrar's Ofce. This form must list each course requested for approval, and the student must submit a complete course description. The form must be signed by the student's academic advisor, department chair(s), the Dean of Academic Administration, as well as by the student, and then returned to the Registrar. Upon examination of the requested courses and after a review to afrm that the requested courses will apply toward the student's General Education or major requirements, the Registrar will sign the permission form and present the student with a copy. The original copy is placed in the student's permanent le. To have these approved credits applied as transfer credit toward the degree, the student must present an ofcial transcript from the external university or college. It is the student's responsibility to have ofcial transcripts sent directly by the institution to the Ofce of the Registrar within six (6) weeks after the completion of the course. No credit will be accepted for transfer for grades below C or for courses taken on a Credit/No Credit basis. Some restrictions apply (see Transfer of Academic Credit, page 5). Attendance Students studying at The American University of Paris are expected to attend ALL scheduled classes. Attendance at all exams is mandatory. Students are responsible for reviewing and understanding any specic attendance policy that a faculty member might have set in the course syllabus. The French Department has its own attendance policy. Students are responsible for compliance.

13

Catalog 201112

In case of absence, students should directly contact their professors to explain the situation. If appropriate, students may request an excused absence directly from their professors. Academic Affairs will excuse an absence for students participation in study trips related to their courses. Lateness to course meetings: If a student arrives at course meetings more than 10 minutes late, it may be considered an unexcused absence. IN ALL CASES OF MISSED COURSE MEETINGS, THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE PROFESSOR AND FOR ARRANGING TO MAKE UP MISSED WORK RESTS SOLELY WITH THE STUDENT. Whether an absence (excused or unexcused) is accepted or not is ALWAYS up to the discretion of the professor or the department. Unexcused absences can result in a low or failing participation grade. In the case of excessive excused and unexcused absences, it is up to the professor or the department to decide if the student will receive an F for the course. An instructor may recommend the withdrawal of a student whose absences from any course, excused or not, have made it impossible to continue in the course at a satisfactory level. The professor may consult with Student Affairs for additional information. Students must be mindful of this policy when making their travel arrangements, and especially during the Drop/Add and Exam Periods. Learning Disabilities Although AUP is committed to providing students with as much assistance as possible with learning disabilities, the University does not have a disabilities support services ofce. Students should request academic accommodations for learning disabilities in the Student Affairs ofce. To request accommodations, students must rst provide recent documentation from a learning disabilities specialist that clearly species recommended accommodations (i.e. extended time for exams, a laptop for exams, etc.). This documentation need only be led with the ofce of Student Affairs once, but should be submitted within the rst three weeks of the rst semester for which accommodations are requested. Once valid documentation is on le, Student Affairs will send notication to the students professors and the Academic Affairs ofce regarding the learning disability and accommodations recommended by the learning disability specialist. Notication for subsequent semesters will only be sent at the students request, once again to be made within the rst three weeks of the semester. Once the above process is complete, students may le for exam accommodations as needed. An exam accommodation form should be completed by the student, signed by the professor and submitted to Student Affairs at least two weeks before each exam. One form must be completed for each exam that requires accommodations. Academic Affairs will arrange for accommodations once exam accommodation forms are submitted and approved. Grading and Credits Grades are reported for all students at the end of each semester. Students whose work is unsatisfactory at the midpoint of each semester receive warnings. Grades are neither discussed over the telephone nor given out by e-mail. The following grading system is used, based on the 4.00 system:

Excellent A = 4.0 A- = 3.7

Good B+ = 3.3 B = 3.0 B- = 2.7 Unsatisfactory D+ = 1.3 D = 1.0 D- = 0.7 = Credit/No Credit Failure Ofcial Withdrawal Incomplete Audit Indicates repeated course Approved zero credit internship Not approved zero credit internship

Satisfactory C+ = 2.3 C = 2.0 C- = 1.7 CR/NC F W IN AU R AP NA

= = = = = = =

Incomplete Grade The grade of Incomplete (IN) is assigned in those cases where the requirements for a course have not been completed for justiable reasons or in extraordinary circumstances beyond the student's control. An Incomplete Request Form must be led with the Registrar's Ofce, and the professor, the Department Chair, and the Dean of Academic Administration must approve the grade. The deadline for submission of the completed Incomplete Request Form is the last day of nal exams. A fee may be charged for nal exams taken outside the regularly scheduled nal exam period. The grade of Incomplete becomes an F, administratively assigned, unless the work is completed by the deadline set by the instructor. This deadline can be no later than the date of the midterm grade-reporting period for the semester immediately following the term in which the Incomplete was assigned. Change of Grade Policy If a student suspects that an error has been made in recording a nal course grade, he/she should immediately contact the professor involved. Grade changes are limited to correction of errors. Grade changes may take place according to this procedure no later than the end of the semester following the semester the grade was issued. Any grade change that takes place after this deadline must be approved by the chair of the department and by the Dean of Academic Administration. A change of grade will not be considered after one year. Students in disagreement with a nal grade issued by a faculty member may challenge the grade by following the appropriate steps (see Challenge of Final Grade Procedure, page 17). Credit/No Credit Option Students may designate one course per semester to be graded Credit/No Credit (CR/NC). The student must choose this option no later than the deadline date for withdrawal from a course (see University Calendar). Once exercised, this option cannot be revoked. All courses may be taken for CR/NC. The granting of CR means that the student has satisfactorily completed the requirements of the course with a performance at least equal to the grade of C. Credits so earned will count toward graduation requirements, but will not be used in the computation of the grade point average. Students electing to take a course CR/NC are not eligible for Deans List. Repeat Courses Courses in which the student has earned a grade of C- or below may be repeated for credit. In such cases, the lower grade and credit will not be used in calculating the cumulative

14

GPA, although a record of the course will remain on the student's transcript. A Repeat Course Form must be filed with the Registrar's Office. Directed Studies and Topics courses can not count as repeats for courses in the regular curriculum. Withdrawal from a Course A course that is dropped during the first five class days of the semester (Drop/Add period) is not recorded on the student's transcript. Withdrawal from a course can be approved up to the deadline announced in the University Calendar. Failure to follow the withdrawal procedure will result in the grade of F (see Withdrawal and Refunds, page 9). Academic Standing All undergraduate degree-seeking students (including parttime) must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 to be in good academic standing at the university. Students with a GPA less than 2.0 are subject to either probation or dismissal according to the table below. Credit Hours Attempted 12-23 24-35 36-47 48-63 Probation 1.50 1.60 1.70 1.80 to to to to 1.99 1.99 1.99 1.99 Dismissal below below below below 1.50* 1.60 1.70 1.80

Academic Integrity at AUP* The continuous evaluation of student learning is an integral part of the educational process at the American University of Paris. Students must demonstrate their knowledge and comprehension through a wide range of academic exercises, which may include written assignments, research, in-class essays, graphical and computer modeling, examinations and oral presentations. Assessment of student progress towards learning goals and course objectives is an important component of the American educational system; academic honesty and ethical behavior are an Integral part of this process. The Code of Academic Integrity and Excellence is the foundation of teaching and learning at AUP . It is an indispensable attribute of serious scholarship, and a hallmark of the University's mission and scholarly reputation. As members of the American University of Paris community, students are responsible for upholding the tenets of this code, and for being aware of academic policies and procedures. Ignorance of any part of the Code of Academic Integrity and/or AUP policies concerning academic misconduct does not excuse violations. What Constitutes a Violation of Academic Integrity? A number of actions compromise academic integrity and honesty. The most egregious examples of academic misconduct include plagiarism, fabrication and cheating. Infringements of the Code of Academic Integrity are serious and can lead to failing grades or dismissal from the University. Following are a few examples: Plagiarism Failure to acknowledge the sources and authors of all borrowed, quoted, copied or paraphrased material (in any format) constitutes a serious violation of academic integrity. All use of, or references to, the work or ideas of other authors (including books, research, opinions, statistics, Web/Internet content, electronic communications), whether published or unpublished, must be correctly cited. Plagiarism includes the use or submission of someone else's work as one's own work. It is considered theft and is unacceptable practice at AUP . Plagiarism can take the following forms: submitting research, papers, assignments, quizzes or examinations produced by other authors as one's own submitting purchased material, such as a term paper, for coursework or credit restating or paraphrasing works without acknowledging the source(s) copying any portion of work or writing belonging to another author, without proper citation The AUP Writing Lab offers workshops and individual consultations for all students concerned with questions about plagiarism. Writing Lab tutors are experts in citation guidelines and can explain when, why and where to attribute ownership of ideas and content included in research papers and assignments. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and other citation guides are available to students In the Academic Resource Center. Fabrication and Falsification Academic integrity implies the accurate use of all forms of information. Fabrication is the practice of inventing

Academic Integrity Policies

*Students with a GPA below 1.50 and who have earned less than 24 credits are required to follow a specified course of study that includes repeating, whenever possible, courses in which their grades were below C. Students who wish to hold leadership positions (e.g., Student Government, club officers, etc.) must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 at the time of election and throughout the duration of their position. Any student placed on probation for three consecutive semesters will be dismissed from the University. Dismissals will occur only at the end of spring semesters. Dismissed students will not be allowed to take courses Part-Time. See page 5 for Readmission procedures. Withdrawal from the University To withdraw from the University a student must: discuss his/her withdrawal plans with the Associate Manager of Student Services. complete a Withdrawal Form, available from the Registrar's Office, which includes confirmation from the Bursar's Office that the student is in good financial standing and has cleared all financial obligations with the University Library, the Housing Office, and the Office of Student Affairs. return the Withdrawal Form to the Registrar's Office with his/her Student Identification Card. Following withdrawal, the designation W is recorded on the student's transcript for all relevant courses. Students who leave the University without following the above procedure are considered unofficially withdrawn. In this case, the grade of F is recorded for each course in which a student was registered (see also Withdrawal and Refunds, page 9). Students who have withdrawn from the University and wish to be reenrolled, must petition the Registrar (see Readmission, page 5). Transcripts Students must request a transcript from the University in writing. One transcript is furnished without charge; a fee is charged for any additional copies. Transcripts can also be

information, or knowingly submitting dishonest work. It includes the falsification of research, data, quotations, studies or other findings, and thus is an unacceptable practice. Examples: submitting, in a paper, thesis, lab report, or other academic exercise, falsified, invented, or fictitious data or evidence deliberately and knowingly concealing or distorting the true nature, origin, or function of such content falsifying or misrepresenting one's records, transcripts, experience or coursework selectively manipulating research and results Cheating Academic integrity requires compliance with all testing and evaluation procedures so that the results honestly demonstrate a student's mastery of information. Cheating is the act or attempted act of deceiving, misleading or misrepresenting this mastery and is unacceptable behavior. Examples include: copying from another student's quiz, test or examination paper obtaining unauthorized access to testing content before, during or after an exam using unauthorized aids, such as notes, textbooks, PDAs, cell phones and calculators, while taking an exam collaborating on a test, quiz, or other project in a manner unauthorized by the instructor Additional Examples of Academic Misconduct Finally, academic integrity policies are important to students success and fair treatment. If student work, progress and performance are not measured under equitable conditions, one student may obtain an unfair advantage over his/her peers. Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to, the following: stealing, reproducing, circulating or otherwise gaining access to examination materials prior to the time authorized by the professor encouraging, or collaborating with, another student to violate the Code of Academic Integrity stealing, defacing, or concealing library or course materials with the purpose of depriving others of their use tampering with grades, course documents or student records, with the purpose of obtaining an unfair advantage over other students failing to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy for the use of University computer resources and networks failing to adhere to University policies for classroom decorum, including the following acts: disrupting the class by arriving late or leaving the room while class is in session (except in emergencies) talking to a neighbor, eating, reading e-mail, or otherwise compromising the learning experience of ones fellow students using or consulting a cell phone during class (cell phones must be turned off or set to "silent" during class) damaging classroom furnishings and/or equipment

of Academic Integrity provides guidance, support and mediation to both faculty and students. If a student has violated the Code of Academic Integrity, he/she may be subject to one or more of the following sanctions: A reduced or failing grade on an assignment A reduced or failing grade in the course Suspension from the University for 1 to 2 semesters* Expulsion from the university* * Sanctions involving suspension or expulsion necessitate adjudication by the Honor Board and a majority decision by that body.

Procedures for Violations of Academic Integrity

Incident Reports and Resolution Forms Minor infractions and first-time offenses may often be resolved between the professor and the student concerned. The professor may choose to consult with his/her Department Chair, the Office of Academic Integrity or the Academic Dean. Students may consult with their academic advisor, the Office of Student Affairs, the Office of Academic Integrity or student members of the Honor Board. In order to facilitate these processes, the Office of Academic Integrity provides a faculty-student resolution form. The forms are available on-line (downloadable in PDF format) and paper copies can be obtained at the Office of Academic Affairs and in the Faculty Secretarys office. Resolution forms allow the professor and the student to come to an agreement upon the circumstances and the penalty for violations. If a student chooses to dispute the outcome of a particular incident, the matter will be referred to the Office of Academic Integrity for mediation. The Office of Academic Integrity Disputes that are not resolved between faculty and students will be formally discussed with the Office of Academic Integrity. The Director of the Office of Academic Integrity will serve as an impartial advocate and mediator and will attempt to resolve difficulties and seek resolutions. Confidential questions and concerns may be sent to academicintegrity@aup.edu The Honor Board If a student disputes or appeals the findings of the Office of Academic Integrity, the case can be referred to the Honor Board. In addition, incidents involving egregious offenses, repeat offenses and/or unresolved appeals, will be turned over to the Honor Board for adjudication. The Honor Board will hear all cases that may result in suspension or expulsion. Students may request an advocate from Student Affairs or a student member of the Honor Board at any time during the formal procedures. Honor Board decisions are final (only the President of the University can reverse an Honor Board decision). A confidential written record of Honor Board proceedings will be kept on file in the Office of Student Affairs, and a written record of the Honor Board's conclusions will be placed in the student's file. Composition of the Honor Board The Honor Board is composed of seven members who are prepared to meet on an ad hoc basis at least once per semester.

Sanctions
Students should consider very carefully the penalties for cheating and other violations of Academic Integrity. The faculty is responsible for evaluating students' work, verifying the originality of assignments and enforcing the University's standards of fairness and academic honesty. Professors who have questions about the originality of student work may question students about the methods and materials used on a paper or assignment; they may also ask to see notes, rough drafts or other materials. Faculty may consult with the Academic Resource Center and Writing Lab for assistance with various tools for the detection of plagiarism. Finally, the Office

The American University of Paris recognizes the right of its students to be fully informed about the grading policies used in each class and provides them with an opportunity to appeal when they believe that they have been erroneously or unfairly graded. However, students should understand that: AUP presumes that its faculty members are professional and will grade students fairly, consistently, and objectively. A challenge of grade procedure is a serious intrusion upon teaching prerogatives and, therefore, needs to be carefully thought through before being initiated. Students are strongly encouraged to contact their instructor with any queries about a grade, and, if need be, to get in touch with the chair of the relevant department before initiating such a procedure. Students who wish to pursue the matter further should follow these steps: STEP 1 Students may appeal a grade by submitting a written statement to the Dean of Academic Administration. A challenge of grade procedure cannot be initiated any later than the end of the semester following the assigning of a specic grade. The appeal statement must include all of the following items: the title of the course and the name of the instructor details of the grade that has been given reasons for the appeal a copy of all relevant related documents (papers, exams, etc.) STEP 2 The Dean will respond in writing within 15 days, acknowledging receipt of the challenge of grade request. The Dean will discuss the issue with the two parties and with the chair of the relevant department, seeking informal ways of resolving the disagreement. If the student is not satised with the results of this attempt, step 3 will be implemented. STEP 3 The Dean will convene the Challenge of Grade Appeal Committee. The Challenge of Grade Appeal Committee consists of the following members: - The Dean of Academic Administration or his/her representatives who will be chairing the Committee - The chair of the department involved - Two members elected by the department involved (Every year during the rst meeting of the fall semester, all academic departments elect two representatives and a substitute). - The student's academic advisor or a faculty member chosen by the student The Challenge of Grade Appeal Committee shall investigate,

Challenge of Final Grade Procedures

Release of Student Information

consult with all the involved parties and, by a majority vote, decide on an appropriate action no later than 45 days after receipt by the Dean's Ofce of the student's written appeal. The Challenge of Grade Appeal Committee will send the involved parties a written response to the appeal. A student can institute no further appeal, with respect to the issue(s) raised in the initial complaint, once the Challenge of Grade Appeal Committee has reached a nal decision.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law of the United States of America designed to protect the privacy of a student's educational records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the US Department of Education. Although The American University of Paris is subject to French law by reason of its location, and a large percentage of the student body are citizens or residents of other countries, the University is incorporated in the United States under the laws of the State of Delaware. Therefore, the University complies, insofar as is permitted by French law, with the American statute. FERPA states that students have the right to inspect and review all of a student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of materials in education records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for students to inspect the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies. Students have the right to request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the student has the right to place a statement with the record commenting on the contested information in the record. Generally, schools must have written permission from the student before releasing any information from a student's record. However, the law allows schools to disclose records, without consent, to the following parties: school employees who have a need to know other schools to which a student is transferring certain government ofcials in order to carry out lawful functions appropriate parties in connection with nancial aid to a student organizations conducting certain studies for the school accrediting organizations individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas persons who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies Schools may also disclose, without consent, directory type information such as a student's name, photo, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Under FERPA, a student's grades are confidential, and may not be released even to his/her parents without her/his written consent, which AUP requests during course registration periods.

Degree Audits

Junior Degree Check All students entering their third year, which entails having earned between 64 and 80 credits, are required to complete a

17

Catalog 201112

Junior Degree Check with the student's assigned academic advisor. This third year audit verifies the student's academic progress in order to help ensure a timely schedule for graduation. All Junior Degree Checks are verified by Academic Affairs before becoming a permanent part of the student's file. Graduation Request Degree applications are to be completed in September of the student's final academic year of attendance (this includes students graduating directly after the fall, spring or summer of that academic year). Failure to submit this mandatory graduation request in a timely manner could result in a student's being excluded from the May graduation ceremony.

Dean's List The Dean's List, which is published at the end of each semester, includes the names of students who have achieved a distinguished level of academic performance. Students are eligible for Dean's List honors after they have completed 16 graded credits at The American University of Paris. A student who has completed at least 16 credits in a given semester, has not received an Incomplete in a course, has not elected to take a course on a Credit/No Credit basis, and who has earned a minimum semester grade point average of 3.500 with no grade below C+ (2.3), will be named on that semester's list. Students taking a course with an obligatory Credit/No Credit grading policy (internship, external language course) are not excluded from Dean's List. Academic Honors Academic Honors are a tradition in the curriculum of AUP . Some degree programs offer an honors track to exceptionally motivated students who wish to be challenged beyond the scope of regular degree requirements (see degree requirements for the departments concerned). Graduation Honors Graduation Honors are awarded to candidates for the bachelor's degree who have completed a minimum of sixty-four credits in residence and whose cumulative grade point average is as follows: 3.70 or above for summa cum laude; 3.503.699 for magna cum laude; and 3.30-3.499 for cum laude. Effective starting in May 2013: Graduation Honors are awarded to candidates for the bachelor's degree who have completed a minimum of sixty-four credits in residence and whose cumulative grade point average is as follows: 3.90 or above for summa cum laude; 3.70-3.899 for magna cum laude; and 3.50-3.699 for cum laude.

Non-Academic Policies
Conduct in the Community
The American University of Paris is an educational institution that exists for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, and the development of its students. To preserve its integrity as an educational community, the University has certain institutional standards of conduct for its members: students, faculty, and administrative staff. The scope of these standards is limited to the protection and promotion of the University's educational goals and to the preservation of the human rights of each of its members. Specifically, the University must attempt to protect and maintain: freedom of expression and freedom of inquiry for all members of the University community, subject to the limitations that such freedom shall not extend to the denial of another's rights nor to attacks on individuals and on the University community as a whole. an atmosphere of mutual respect in which the improvement of opportunities for individual intellectual development is the paramount concern. the safety, welfare, and property of all members of the University community, and the safety and property of the University itself. It is the responsibility of each member of the AUP community to support these standards. The University provides a mechanism for student participation in the formulation of standards of conduct and in judicial proceedings. The standards of conduct do not restrict the right of the faculty to control conduct in the classroom within accepted standards of academic freedom and responsibility. Conduct outside of the University, including study trips and cultural excursions organized by the University, which violates either the University's Standards of Conduct or French Law, or which damages the Universitys standing in the local community, is prohibited and can result in disciplinary action. Students housed through the University Housing Department must sign a Housing Rules and Regulations Agreement before accepting accommodations, and subsequently must respect all aspects of this agreement while housed through the University, including timely payment of rent and arrival and departure deadlines. See the University Housing Department for full details. Students excessively late with rental payments for housing secured through the University Housing Department or with payments for University study trips or cultural excursions risk judicial procedures as outlined below. Sexual harassment, as defined below, is prohibited at the University.

Judicial Procedures

Sexual harassment is a violation of the standards of conduct at AUP and is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature where: Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a condition or term of a student's status in a course, program or activity or a condition of work. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic or other decisions affecting a student or employee. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with a student's academic performance, educational experience, or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. It is a violation of University policy to initiate any action of reprisal against a member of the University community who in good faith reports incidents of sexual harassment. Complaints of sexual harassment should be filed with the Dean of Student Services. If the complaint concerns the conduct of another student, the Dean of Student Services will initiate an investigation and follow the procedures outlined above under the standards of conduct for the University and the judicial procedures where appropriate. If the complaint concerns the conduct of a University employee, the Dean of Student Services will forward the complaint to the Office of Academic Affairs or to the Director of Personnel, whichever is appropriate, and an investigation will begin immediately. Should allegations of sexual harassment be found to be true, disciplinary actions will be initiated.

Departments and Programs

A Bachelor's degree usually requires four academic years of study and a minimum of 128 credit hours, which are accumulated by taking a series of courses. Each completed course counts as one to six credits toward a degree. Students graduate with one of two degrees depending on the academic discipline studied: the Bachelor of Arts (BA) for a major in the humanities, social sciences, communications, and business, or the Bachelor of Science (BS) for a major in International Finance, or Information and Communication Technologies. BA and BS Degrees are awarded to candidates who meet the following criteria: Completion of a minimum of 128 credits, distributed among General Education requirements, major requirements, and electives. At least 64 credits, including the last 16, must be earned in residence. Students must complete at least half of the upper-level courses required for the degree at The American University of Paris. Some departments may apply additional restrictions. A minimum GPA of 2.00 (C) with no grade below C- in courses specied as requirements for the major and/or for the minor. Clearance of all nancial obligations to the University. Students who matriculated prior to Fall 2009 will be awarded the BA or BS degree based on criteria stated in the AUP catalog at the time of matriculation, typically: Completion of a minimum of 120 credits, distributed among General Education requirements, major requirements, and electives. At least 45 credits, including the last 15, must be earned in residence. Students must complete at least half of the upper-level courses required for the degree at The American University of Paris. Some departments may apply additional restrictions. A minimum GPA of 2.00 (C) with no grade below C- in courses specied as requirements for the major. Clearance of all nancial obligations to the University. The University confers BA, BS and MA Degrees in January, May, and July. A graduation ceremony is held in May for students who have completed all graduation requirements. A degree application must be led with the Ofce of the Registrar. (See page 18).

Graduation Requirements

FirstBridge courses will bridge several academic disciplines connecting peers from many cultures, with a team of two AUP professors, and with Paris itself. Once a week, FirstBridge classes divide into two smaller groups of twelve students for a Reective Seminar led by one of the two professors. Throughout FirstBridge, students explore a range of interdisciplinary issues and questions, complete individual and team projects, enjoy occasional eld trips in Paris, France, or other European countries, while improving skills in writing, public speaking, and information literacy. The FirstBridge program carries eight credits. Speaking the World: Language and Cultural Literacies English This requirement consists of eight credits (two courses) in English writing and humanities. EN courses require substantial reading, analysis, writing and revision in the context of important works of world literature in a range of genres. Students fulll this requirement, in most cases, with one semester of EN 110 (College Writing) and one semester of EN 220 (Writing and Criticism). Depending on placement test results, students may have to complete additional English courses before embarking on the General Education English requirement. See page 35. Continuous registration in English courses is expected until the University requirement has been fullled. Entering degree candidates (freshmen and transfers) take the AUP English Placement Test during the Orientation period of their rst semester on campus (see Language Prociency Requirements, page 4). Based on the result of this examination, a student takes prerequisites for the requirement listed above, follows the requirement listed above, or is exempted from the above requirement (by placing above EN 220). A grade of C or above must be earned in these courses to meet the General Education requirement. Since writing in English forms the basis for success in most other courses, students are expected to take English every semester until they have successfully completed their rst EN 220. Students receive credit for Advanced Placement Test results of 4 or above in English, for GCSE 'A' Level examinations taken in English for results of C or above, and for International Baccalaureate Higher Level English results of 4 or above. Depending on the AUP English Placement Test results, students will receive elective credit or EN credit for the above. Furthermore, entry into upper-level EN courses, or exemption, depends on the results obtained in the AUP English Placement Test. French AUP students are required not only to demonstrate intermediate language prociency, but also to provide evidence of their ability to engage in intellectual and cultural activity in the French language. All new students must take a placement test at Orientation (except students holding the French Baccalaurat diploma). Either by means of exemption or completion of the necessary French language sequence, students must demonstrate a proficiency level equivalent to that obtained

General Education

Envisioning A World of Interdependence A pillar of the American model of education is the undergraduate General Education program that exposes students to a broad range of academic disciplines. In the American system, this generalizing stream of courses is balanced by concentrated or specializing study in a single discipline or major. This four-year program has been designed to complement work in the major, by running parallel to it over the course of a student's academic trajectory. Please see the General Education Handbook for detailed information. Students must fulll the following requirements: FirstBridge Freshman students begin their General Education studies with the FirstBridge program during their rst semester at AUP . This program is a set of two creatively joined courses linked by a Reective Seminar. Limited to twenty-four students, each set of

Catalog 201112

in FR 235 French for Communication and Culture. A minimum grade of C is necessary in each course to fulfill the requirement (up to 18 credit hours). Then a student must take either an upper-level course taught in French, or exercise the FrenchBridge passerelle option (see the General Education section page 79 for detailed information). Students holding the French Baccalaurat diploma are exempted from this requirement. Modeling the World: Scientific and Mathematical Investigations AUP students must fulfill one natural or physical science and one mathematics General Education requirement. One natural or physical science course with laboratory (4 credits) Demonstration of mastery of basic math and quantitative reasoning skills, by means of assessment at Orientation. In the case of failure to demonstrate those competencies, one specially designed General Education course in basic math and reasoning skills with Lab MA 105 (4 credits) or a higher level math course (MA 110 or above) Comparing Worlds Past and Present: Historical and CrossCultural Understandings This requirement consists of four credits (one course) chosen from an approved annual list of General Education courses (see the General Education section page 79 for detailed information). Mapping the World: Social Experience and Organization This requirement consists of four credits (one course) chosen from an approved annual list of General Education courses (see the General Education section page 80 for detailed information). Students then take an additional four credits (one course) from either the Comparing Worlds or Mapping the World rubric. In choosing a total of 12 credits from these two rubriques, students must select courses in at least two different disciplines and those disciplines must be different from the student's major discipline(s). All AUP students must complete the requirements listed above in order to fulfill their General Education program. See the General Education Handbook for additional information.

Detailed information regarding each department and the specific course requirements for each major can be found starting on page 28. Consult the Course Descriptions (page 82) for full course titles. In addition to courses in the seventeen majors, the curriculum includes a full complement of other liberal arts offerings. Courses are available in the following disciplines: anthropology, Arabic, astronomy, biology, Chinese, drama, fine arts, gender studies, Italian, mathematics, music, physics, sociology, and Spanish. Courses satisfying the Comparing Worlds Past and Present and Mapping the World General Education requirements must come from at least two disciplines and those disciplines must be different from those of the students major. No course taken to satisfy a major requirement may also satisfy a General Education requirement. An exception is made, however, for students completing the requirements of a double major: in such cases, courses fulfilling the requirements of one of the majors can also be accepted as satisfying the Comparing Worlds and Mapping the World requirements.

Minors

Majors

The American University of Paris offers majors in seventeen fields of study: Art History Comparative Literature Entrepreneurship European and Mediterranean Cultures Film Studies French Language and Culture Global Communications History Information and Communication Technologies International Business Administration International Economics International Finance International and Comparative Politics Literary Studies and the Creative Arts Psychology Self-Designed Major Urban Studies

Students may choose to further broaden their academic horizons by completing one of the thirty-five minors offered by AUP: Ancient Greek Applied Mathematics Applied Statistics Art History Classical Civilization Comparative Literature Comparative Political Communication Critical Theory Entrepreneurship Environmental Policy European and Mediterranean Cultures European Languages and Cultures Film Studies Fine Arts French Language and Culture Gender Studies Global Communications History Information and Communication Technologies International Business Administration International Economics International Journalism International Law Latin Medieval Studies Middle Eastern and Islamic Cultures Philosophy Politics Psychology Renaissance Studies Romance Languages Theater and Performance Urban Studies in European and Mediterranean Cities Urban Studies in Global Cities Visual Culture Requirements for Minors are listed on pages 74-78.

Minor Requirements

Most minors consist of 20 credit hours, but some currently total as many as 24 credit hours. In exceptional

22

circumstances, a department may authorize a limited substitution for courses identified as minor requirements. Minors must be completed at the same time as the BA or BS degree. No more than 8 credits from courses taken outside AUP may be applied towards a minor, and these courses must be specifically accepted by the department supervising the minor. All courses counting towards a minor must be completed with a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average, with no individual grade lower than C-. Courses taken to satisfy requirements for a minor must include at least three courses which are not being applied towards a major or towards another minor. Courses taken to satisfy the General Education requirements, including FirstBridge courses, may be applied towards a minor. Minors do not appear on diplomas but are noted on students' transcripts. A self-designed minor is an option for students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher; the student and his or her advisor design these minors.

Concentrations

A concentration constitutes a designated group of courses of 28 credit hours within one subject area. It accompanies a major, but has a larger set of requirements than those of a minor and is recognized on the student's transcript after the major. In exceptional circumstances a department may authorize a limited substitution for courses identified as concentration requirements. Currently only a Philosophy Concentration is offered by AUP .

Graduates of The American University of Paris may pursue a second BA or BS degree at the institution. To do so they must obtain prior approval from the Dean of Academic Administration, have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and take at least 32 additional credits in residence. The program for the second degree must conform to all the requirements for the major in the field.

Second Diplomas

Students may elect to graduate with two majors, and receive one BA or BS degree in both disciplines. In such instances, students must fulfill all requirements of each of the majors. In satisfying the requirements of two majors, some courses may be found to be applicable to both. Such courses (including cross-listed offerings) may be counted towards each major, but not beyond a maximum permitted overlap of 5 courses (4-credit courses).

Division of Arts and Sciences

At the core of the liberal arts curriculum, the Division of Arts and Sciences provides the majority of the Universitys General Education courses, offers a wide variety of undergraduate majors housed in its six departments and a challenging, highly interdisciplinary self-designed major. At the graduate level the division proposes a Master of Arts in Cultural Translation and a Master of Arts in Middle East and Islamic Studies. Grounded in the tradition of the liberal arts, students learn to learn, and to act creatively and purposefully in an international environment, while pursuing majors and/or minors in the humanities, social sciences, information technologies, and mathematics. The Division maintains several partnerships with institutions such as the Sorbonne and the Muse du Louvre offering students further possibilities to enrich their academic experience. Alumni have continued their studies at internationally recognized schools, have gone on to own successful businesses or to work for public and private organizations in many different countries. The Division hosts a number of research initiatives and laboratories committed to the highest research standards in the investigation and dissemination of disciplinary and interdisciplinary study and maintains close ties with other divisions within the University, as well as with research centers, universities, and industries in Europe and all over the world. Its outreach program engages faculty and students in the organization of public conferences, art exhibitions and performances, as well as in the undertaking of humanitarian initiatives. Intellectual leadership, creativity, and social engagement are pursuits of the Division.

During the rst Foundation semester, students take two linked General Education courses

Catalog 201112

paired as an EnglishBridge, one intensive academic composition course, and one grammar course. These courses carry full university credit, fullling part of a students General Education and elective requirements. In the following semester, students take an advanced intensive composition course in addition to three courses of their choosing. Student Learning Outcomes Students will become familiar with the learning environment of a four-year American liberal arts undergraduate institution, developing the skills needed to function optimally in class and outside of class on individual and collective projects. Students will learn the essential features of writing, such as organization, mechanics, word choice, and style, and will be able to effectively plan, write, and edit their work. Students will explore formal grammatical features of English such as tense, time, aspect, register, voice, and idioms. Students will learn to understand varied discipline-specic perspectives on a given problem and will learn to conduct research and produce academic research projects. First semester, students take: EN 085 Intensive Writing EN 060 English Grammar Review EnglishBridge EnglishBridge is composed of two linked courses that may be from a variety of subject areas critical to a liberal arts education. Students begin to understand how different subject areas see a given problem in different ways while they develop the language skills they need to function in an English-speaking classroom environment. Second semester, students take: EN 095 Advanced Intensive Writing Other classes to be chosen with the help of the student's advisor The English Foundation Program is tailored to students' preparation levels. Freshman and Transfer placements into Tracks One and Two are made during the admissions process. Freshman and Transfer placements into Tracks Three, Four and Five are made according to a placement test taken during Orientation. Students may also be placed at intermediate stages in these tracks. The rst year of the English Foundation Program must be completed successfully (with an overall grade average of C) before students are allowed to proceed further into their academic curriculum. Students earning less than a grade of C must repeat the courses in which their grade was below C. If language skills are not yet adequate at the end of the semester, the student may choose to repeat elements of the program. Please note: EN courses below EN 110 receive elective credit, of which a maximum of 16 credits may be applied toward the student's degree.

The Department of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Science

Information and Communication Technology Major Computer Science Information Technology Mathematics Sciences
Cherishing the ideals of the liberal arts, the Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and Science aims for a contextualized and active learning approach. The department emphasizes interdisciplinary education and research, and maintains close ties with other departments within the University as well as with research centers, universities, and industry in Europe and all over the world. The Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and Science aspires to enhance the general education of AUP students by providing them with skills for quantitative and abstract reasoning, comprehension, analysis, and integration of knowledge, and to formulate and efficiently solve problems. We aim at making our students successful lifelong learners independently of their field of study. The department offers a Major in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and our mission is to prepare students who are capable of applying computational and quantitative methodologies to a wide variety of subject areas, who can communicate their knowledge efficiently, and who can work and study in interdisciplinary teams. We aim to enable students to understand the theoretical underpinnings of the field of computing and software development, and to prepare them to work and continue to learn in a field in which radical change is the normal condition. Student Learning Outcomes for ICT majors Students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles, and theories relating to computer science and software applications.

The English for University Studies Program

In furthering our mission of fostering the intellectual growth, intercultural understanding, and personal development of students from all national, linguistic and educational backgrounds, The American University of Paris has created this program for students seeking to sharpen their academic English skills. Qualifying students may enroll in AUPs EUSP for a semester of preparatory English studies taught by AUP teaching staff on the AUP campus. This program for entering, degree-seeking students has been designed to provide intensive academic English instruction to students who require additional work on their prociency in English. Students in this program, who might otherwise be denied admission to AUP , will join the dynamic and geographically diverse AUP learning community from the outset. By following a varied curriculum that prepares them for university studies in English, students will begin their trajectory toward academic success. The program consists of 12 credits per semester (completed in addition to the 128 credits required for graduation with a BA or BS degree). Please note: EN courses below EN 110 receive elective credit, of which a maximum of 16 credits may be applied toward the student's degree.

The purpose of the society is to recognize outstanding scholarship in the French language and its literature and to stimulate cultural activities. At the present time, it numbers more than 300 chapters in almost every state in the United States. The Kappa Beta Chapter at The American University of Paris was established in 1987 on the initiative of Dean Charlotte Lacaze. Maud Nicolas (Prof. Emeritus) has been the chapter's moderator for the last 14 years. Every year, the chapter holds an initiation ceremony to welcome the new members, French majors or minors with outstanding achievement. Every summer, AUP offers a full-tuition summer session scholarship to an undergraduate Pi Delta Phi member chosen through a US-wide selective examination (see Prof. Dominique Mougel for details).

The Department of History

History Major European and Mediterranean Cultures Major Urban Studies Major Gender Studies
The Department of History is home to the History Major, the Major in European and Mediterranean Cultures and the Urban Studies Major as well as Minors in History, European and Mediterranean Cultures, Urban Studies, Gender Studies, European Languages and Cultures, Middle Eastern and Islamic Cultures and Renaissance Studies. We train students to develop a critical understanding of the past and cultivate their appreciation of the enduring power and relevance of that past in the present and the construction of the future. AUPs cosmopolitan and urban setting is reected in the departments cross-cultural offerings and our emphasis on transnational and urban contexts in historical perspective. The courses in our department nourish a liberal arts education in the heart of one of Europes most historic and vibrant cities through regular visits with professors into Paris and to cities across Europe. A disciplinary crossroads History is a synthetic discipline. At AUP our department reects the epistemological breadth of any historical inquiry by emphasizing the importance of a geographical and temporal context for understanding the human experience in Europe, the Mediterranean and the world. The History Major and its two integrative majors serve to bring disciplines together from across the divisions of the University around history, culture and the city. Our minors and majors are nourished by faculty from Art History, Comparative Literature, Global Communiciations and Film, French Studies, Politics, Philosophy, and Pyschology. Centers and Partnerships The faculty of the History department are active scholars participating in conferences around the world, and have published books in European and Urban History as well as articles and reviews for many journals including Les Annales (HSS), La Revue des Deux Mondes, The History Journal, International Political Economy, The Journal of Modern History, Le Monde, and many others. The department is coordinating a project funded by the City of Paris entitled Une cartographie culturelle de Paris Mtropole. This project is being pursued with the Psychology department and the Masters program in Global Communications at AUP as well as researchers from the Paris-1 Panthon-Sorbonne and the University of Chicago. The History department has also launched a new major in Global Cities with the Eugene Lang College of the New School for Social Research in New York. A joint major at AUP and ELC provides an ideal institutional platform for studying global cities. The focus on two international urban centers serves as a lever to lift the students beyond their immediate urban environments into a truly global study opportunity. From the introductory courses to the nal graduation requirements, the coursework emphasizes a strong international orientation that offers perspectives both comparative and substantively non-Western. Lastly, the History department considers the city of Paris itself to be its most essential partner. The city, including its monumental core, suburbs, vast hinterland and connections to cities across Europe and the world, is one of the driving forces of our departments mission. This connection is reafrmed in every course that takes advantage of the city by visiting museums, monuments as well as streets and cafs.

Major in History

The History Major has four principal goals. Upon graduating with a History Major from AUP , a student should have a strong knowledge of historical trends across cultures in at least two different geographical or thematic areas. Graduates are expected to be able to critically assess the value of information by identifying, interpreting and narrating signicant historical data. They should be able to discuss critically a historiographical work, identifying the basic motivations and methodological approaches of the author within the discipline of History. Lastly, students should be prepared to do history through a strong mastery of reading primary texts and writing historical essays. Student Learning Outcomes The History Major requires that students become familiar with four key concepts relating to the study of history: practices, uses, skills, and approaches: Lower-level courses (100-level) introduce students to historical knowledge. They aim to launch a progression of historical knowledge and teach students to identify and evaluate the historical signicance of a variety of documents as the rst step in the practice of history. Advanced courses (200- and 300-level) both deepen historical knowledge and familiarize students with the uses of history in different periods and regions. Advanced courses also introduce students to different types of historical writings in order to develop the skills necessary in the profession, especially identifying, interpreting and narrating historical information.

Students may graduate with "Honors in History" by achieving a 3.7 grade point average and successfully completing a Senior Honors Thesis.

Upper-level capstone courses assure a culminating experience in the major through in-depth study of methodological schools and approaches to the study of history and the application of these methods through the writing of a senior thesis.

Major in European and Mediterranean Cultures

The major in European and Mediterranean Cultures examines Europe and the Mediterranean world, focusing on regions, states and cities across time, highlighting the distinctions of their societies and cultures as well as the networks and connections that nourish them. The majors courses are nourished by three recurring questions: - How did cultures and societies see themselves, and how were they understood by others? - What can students understand from diversities of opinions, appreciations and perspectives? - What can the past teach the present, and how can historical experience offer suggestions for the future? Student Learning Outcomes Developing a just appreciation of the signicance of Europe and the Mediterranean world over centuries and millennia, and obtaining requisite factual knowledge of the cultural and social history of Europe and the Mediterranean world; Understanding the distinctions and particularities of the societies and cultures of the states and cities of the region, and perceiving cogent relations and discerning essential contrasts for these cultures; Comprehending the shifting identities of the component parts of this large world, and the evolutions both towards and away from various unions and cohesions; Understanding the importance of the projection of European and Mediterranean cultures in the wider world; Reading, researching and thinking critically in this large domain, and developing effective and persuasive communication in both oral and written exercises.

The Department of Psychology

Psychology Major
The Department of Psychologys mission is to encourage students to become independent thinkers who read critically, who can make sensitive observations and who can generate original ideas, making use of current theoretical constructs and relevant empirical data. The department attempts to stimulate students: to think systematically about psychological phenomena from multiple disciplinary perspectives and methodologies; to evaluate and employ recent as well as time-tested theories to elucidate psychological processes in their social and cultural contexts; to write clearly and coherently, developing sound arguments on the basis of appropriate sources and pertinent observations; to heighten their personal awareness of themselves as participant observers and of others both in the laboratory and in the natural setting. The department endeavors to foster students capacity to take responsibility for their own learning with, as its end goal, their eventual contribution to the advancement of psychology as a multifaceted discipline, both scientic and humanistic. Program Goals Psychology at AUP provides students with a solid background in the central theories, approaches and controversies in contemporary psychology and an understanding of their historical underpinnings. The department is especially interested in how culture and social context inuence basic aspects of psychology: identity, human development and the life course; motivation, cognition and perception; gender and sexuality; conscious and unconscious processes; interpersonal relationships and social representations; health, pathology and the concept of normality. Courses consider human psychology from a variety of analytical frameworks (neuropsychological, psychodynamic, cognitive, cultural, developmental, social, etc.) with the goal of giving students insight into the complexity of human beings, their social positions and relationships. Challenging the validity of any single framework, the program aims to foster dialogue and debate between different orientations on psychology. The program prepares students for entry into professional life or for graduate studies in diverse programs of study, including clinical, neuroscience, developmental, social and cultural psychology. Psychology majors work in a variety of elds, where knowledge of human motivation, critical thinking skills, and sensitivity are valued. To become a practicing psychologist, students must pursue a degree at the Masters or Doctorate level. Student Learning Outcomes Students in psychology will: Conceptualize the complex factors (biological, genetic, developmental, intrapersonal, socioeconomic, relational, historical, cultural, etc.) that inuence psychology and comprehend the interplay between these forces; Understand how culture and society inuence basic psychological phenomena such as behavior, child development, interpersonal relationships, thought, identity, memory and emotion; Develop an informed, critical stance toward psychological theory and research; Write and speak effectively; Be able to construct meaningful and sound arguments; Be able to conceptualize psychology from multiple disciplinary perspectives;

The Philosophy Program

Philosophy The Philosophy Program offers students either a Minor (20 credits) or a Concentration (28 credits) in the History of Philosophy and Modern and Contemporary Philosophy. The Concentration in Philosophy must be done in accompaniment with a separate major: i.e. ICP/PL, IE/PL, AH/PL, CL/PL, etc. Interested students wishing to specialize in one area more than another during their philosophical studies (Philosophy and the Humanities and/or Philosophy and Social Science) are also recommended to consult the honors program in Philosophy, Politics and Economics in the International and Comparative Politics department and the interdisciplinary minor in Critical Theory in the Comparative Literature department. The Philosophy Minor introduces the student to fundamental methods of philosophical enquiry, gives a historical overview of western philosophy from the Ancients to contemporary philosophical thought and then allows the student to develop their individual philosophical interest within a broad range of topic-oriented courses across the humanities, social sciences and sciences. The Philosophy Concentration is divided into three sections: the rst core (as for the minor) develops basic skills in philosophical analysis and thought and gives an overview of western philosophy; the second core focuses on three major areas of concern to modern and contemporary continental reection the genealogy of the subject, the critique of political economy, philosophical and political modernity; the third section offers a range of courses in Philosophy and the Disciplines (Philosophy and Film, Philosophy and Literature, Philosophy and Political Economy, Philosophy and Science, etc.) that are housed either in the Philosophy Program, adjoining departments, or in the programs of Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and Critical Theory. The overall concern of the Philosophy Concentration is to give students a rigorous and adventurous introduction to philosophy in its historical, modern, and contemporary concerns with actuality. The concentration has therefore been conceived in a disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and dynamic fashion. Training in both philosophical reasoning and the traditions of philosophy provides the student with a rigorous and imaginative set of skills that strongly enhances and complements all majors across the humanities and social science. The Concentration in Philosophy is thus highly advised as a theoretical and reective companion to work in, and across, specic disciplines. All professional careers and/or graduate schools appreciate such reection at the undergraduate level.

Division of Global Communications and Film

True to the Universitys liberal arts tradition, the Division of Global Communications and Film trains students both to think critically and produce creatively as engaged global citizens and committed professionals. Students study lm, communications, media, and culture from comparative and cross-cultural perspectives, drawing upon both theory and practice. The Division encourages teamwork, imaginative thinking, and creative problem solving. Students receive a rigorous intellectual training in different aspects of the communications and lm sectors. Areas covered include new media, cinema, branding, and journalism, both print and audio-visual. Students engage with politics, development, ethics, human rights, and the environment from a communications perspective. The curriculum allows them to combine practical classes with the study of contemporary theory and pre-professional courses with rigorous academic research. Active participation in the Universitys student media, print, video, lm, and web is encouraged. Division faculty teach and research in three disciplines: lm studies, communications, and anthropology. The focus of faculty research is on the global circulation of cultural forms and meanings in discourse, image, and practice in a world transformed by digital communications technologies. The Division has strong partnerships with universities and research centers around the world. Notably, AUP partners with the Department of Media, Culture and Communications at NYU with whom the Division mounts an annual graduate summer school. Actively participating in the scholarly life of its disciplines through research, publication, and conference-participation, Division faculty has developed an innovative and exciting curriculum. The Division offers a Master of Arts in Global Communications as well as undergraduate majors.

The Department of Film Studies

Film Studies Major
Combining AUP's liberal arts tradition with hands-on practice in film and video, the Film Studies Department provides students with a strong background in the history, aesthetics and theory of film, and introduces them to the practical arts of writing, directing and producing. Uniquely situated in Paris, the birthplace of movies, the program looks three ways: to Europe and its most important cinematic traditions (Italian, German, French, East European, Spanish, Scandinavian); to the United States, as the American commercial and independent cinemas are core to AUP Film Studies' theory and practice; and to emerging cinemas in an increasingly globalized world (including the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America). Because of our location, students have the rare chance to explore film through unique, prestigious film institutions such as La Cinmathque and Le Forum des Images. Building on AUPs international education approach, the Film Studies Department exposes and sensitizes students to different ways of thinking and creating, to contrasting styles of filmand video-making, and to different modes of production. To prepare students to enter the competitive film industry, bridges are built to the real world of cinema. Strong connections with professionals are forged through master classes, festivals, lectures and internships. In addition, students get to visit festivals and studios in Berlin and other European cities. This degree is offered in cooperation with the Department of Global Communications and also draws on courses from other departments. Student Learning Outcomes Film Studies graduates will emerge with a broad knowledge of the history and development of the major traditions in World Cinema. They will understand the interface between cinema and the particular cultures and societies where it flourishes. They will also have reflected on cinema's characteristics, and its connections to other arts (including literature, photography, music, painting and architecture). Film students will have been trained in visual literacy, having learned to master and employ the grammar of film syntax, and to delineate image components and narrative structures, including genres. They will have acquired analytical skills, be competent in film theory and be capable of writing critical essays. Because cinema is an industry as well as an art form, students will also have learned to think critically about the aesthetics and modes of film production. They will have acquired the basic techniques of camera, audio, lighting, editing, and learned how to make (write, shoot, direct, edit) short digital videos, working in production teams. Through attendance at master classes and festivals, they will have further developed the capacity of professional networking.

The Department of Global Communications

Global Communications Major Anthropology
The Major in Global Communications trains students in a liberal arts tradition to think critically and creatively about the contemporary communications environment which they experience as global citizens and possibly, soon, as practitioners of professional communication. It provides students with substantive knowledge based on current research, with practical skills and analytical ability to understand (and play an active role in) the complex dynamics of communication at global, local, and individual levels. Graduates of this major understand the huge and rapid trends and rifts appearing in societies as media converge, new cultural forms, practices and spaces emerge, and belief structures shift. Student Learning Outcomes Global Communications majors will: gain insight into the history and construction of communication as a field; develop in-depth knowledge of theoretical foundations and recent developments in particular tracks or emphases of study; learn a solid liberal arts background necessary for success in graduate study in communication studies; learn practical skills applicable for students' careers in communication fields; master communication research methods, including historical, textual, socio-cultural, and empirical approaches and procedures for writing and presenting research; sharpen international media literacy skills; learn communication's role in global identity formation and the influence of this process transculturally. Interdisciplinary Initiatives Communication studies is a field that overlaps with politics, sociology, anthropology, and literature, to name a few. Thus, interdisciplinary initiatives are practically built into the definition of the field. In addition, the Global Communications Department has devised a new Political Communication minor to serve students interested in politics or communications who want more in-depth treatment of this important topical overlap. Several courses are cross-listed with International and Comparative Politics. The department also houses the anthropology courses of the university. Some Global Communications courses are cross-listed with film. A media and gender course is crosslisted with Gender Studies. Finally several business courses are part of our degree requirements. Centers and Partnerships The Global Communications department has summer exchange agreements with NYU's Department of Communication and Culture, featuring a summer institute in Global Communications.

International and Comparative Politics Major
We live in a rapidly changing world where the interaction between different political actors impacts our lives. The complex relationships between the national and international, the local and global, the corporate and civil, offer exciting new challenges to students of politics, economics and public policy. We prepare students of diverse nationalities to become world citizens, ready to assume the responsibilities of civic and political leadership in the 21st century. Through a variety of program initiatives, we foster an interactive, interdisciplinary learning environment where conversations on the nature and practice of politics occur across the academy. Within the Division, the Major in International and Comparative Politics provides a sophisticated understanding of the allocation of ideas and resources across nations and societies, a study which is reinforced by dynamic new Minors in Politics, International Law, Comparative Political Communication and in Environmental Policy. The possibility of a four- or five-year BA-MA degree encourages our students to build on their undergraduate learning experience by specializing at the graduate level in International Affairs, Public Policy, International Law or one of the combined Masters degrees, including the French certificate program with the Sorbonne and the International Human Rights Law Program with Oxford.

All degree-seeking AUP students fulll the FrenchBridge requirement by completing one of the following: a 300-level course with an FS-listing or cross-listing or approved FR-listing (must be taught in French and be open only to students having completed FR 235); or a passerelle component in a passerelledesignated course. La passerelle Faculty from across the disciplines interested in enhancing their courses with French include a passerelle option in their syllabi. The passerelle option takes the form of supplementary reading, writing, viewing, translating and/or eld research in French.

Course Descriptions
AUP is moving to six-character course numbers. For example, AH224 will become AH2024 (a zero is added as the second digit in the number). These new numbers are used for course descriptions at the end of the catalog, but the older codes are used elsewhere. COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM Courses numbered from 1000-2099 are introductory courses or courses normally taken in the freshman and sophomore years. Courses numbered from 3000-3099 are normally taken in the junior and senior years. Courses numbered from 4000-4099 are senior-level courses. PREREQUISITES Students must make certain that they have the necessary prerequisites for each course. Failure to do so may result in inadequate preparation and thus failure of the course. Prerequisites are indicated at the end of each course description. NOTE: The University reserves the right to cancel courses that have insufcient enrollment. The curriculum may also be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions and program development.

Urban Studies
UR/HI1013 The City in World History: From Ur to the Global City We have reached a critical moment in the evolution of cities. From Ur and

Rome to Shanghai and the shadow cities of the 21st century, this radical shift in the way humans inhabit the planet marks a watershed moment in the history of world. This course will offer a historical perspective on this global transformation through an interdisciplinary study of city development from the ancient world to present.
