Study Abroad

Undergraduate AUP students are welcome to spend one or two semesters in an approved AUP study abroad program at institutions such as: 

• Central European University (Hungary) 

• Central University of Finance & Economics (China) 
• Eugene Lang College of The New School for Liberal Arts (New York) 
• Goizueta Business School of Emory University (Georgia) 
• New York University (Global sites in Buenos Aires, Florence, London and Shanghai) 
• Pace University (New York) 
• Salve Regina University (Rhode Island) 
• The American University in Cairo (Egypt) 
• University of Cape Town (South Africa) 
• University of Miami (Florida) 

Individual arrangements are also possible with other universities. 

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 from an AUP partner school toward their graduation. 

Students who study abroad outside of an approved AUP study abroad program make all the arrangements themselves, pay tuition to their host institution, and do not retain their AUP financial aid. Students studying abroad at non-partner schools can transfer no more than 18 semester credits toward their graduation. 

All AUP students wishing to study abroad for one semester or one year must request a leave of absence prior to their departure – by doing so they retain privileges and rights of AUP students, and will be able to register before they return to AUP. 

The University also has established formal agreements to receive students from:

• College for International Studies (Madrid, Spain) 
• Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts (New York) 
• George Washington University (Washington D.C.) 
• Goizueta Business School of Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia) 
• Lesley University (Cambridge, Massachusetts) 
• Loyola University (Baltimore, Maryland) 
• New England College (Henniker, New Hampshire) 
• Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts) 
• Salve Regina University (Rhode Island) 
• The American University of Cairo (Egypt) 
• The Fashion Institute of Technology (New York) 
• University of Denver (Colorado) 
• University of Miami (Florida) 
• University of Oslo (Oslo, Norway) 
• University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, Texas) 
• Tulane University (New Orleans, Louisiana) 
• Westmont College (Santa Barbara, California) 

AUP allows students from these institutions to attend the university as visitors.
