Part-time Studies

Studying part-time at AUP

The American University of Paris offers the possibility of attending classes as a part-time student without pursuing a degree in over 100 undergraduate courses on a space-available basis.听You can choose to either take a class for academic credit or audit a class not for academic credit.听You will not be able to change between the two options after registration.听

For academic credit

You may register for up to 11 credits per semester. If you register for more credits, you鈥檙e considered a degree-seeking student. Like all other AUP students taking courses for credit, you鈥檙e expected to attend class regularly, complete all assigned reading and written work, and take examinations. Grades will be reflected on University issued transcripts.听Tuition for 听2024-2025 is 鈧1,112 per credit. For example, a 4-credit course would cost听鈧4,448.

Not for academic credit

You may audit classes if you are not looking to earn academic credit. Auditors may also register for up to 11 credits per semester. Auditors may complete course assignments and take exams, but correcting their work is left to the discretion of the individual professor. The auditor rate for 2024-2025 is 鈧556 per credit. For example, a 4-credit course would cost听鈧2,224.

In approximately 500 words, in English, please answer one of the following essay questions:

  • Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
  • The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter听can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you faced a challenge, setback, or听failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
  • Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
  • Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve.
