By 2020, The American University of Paris aims to be internationally recognized for offering the finest and most demographically diverse American education in Europe to the global explorers who fit its unique educational culture and flourish within it.聽That reputation has its origins in the continuity of the University鈥檚 55-year mission to offer a student-centered, transformative education in the heart of Paris that pushes students to transcend the confines of 鈥渘arrow nationalism.鈥� AUP鈥檚 future reputation will rest upon its excellent record of graduating global citizens who are successful and have impact on the world, and upon its goal of being an internationally recognized site of disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and cross-cultural teaching, of scholarship, creativity聽and academic convocation.聽We will measure our success by the capacity of our faculty and students to find empowering solutions to the pressing issues of our times, crossing, as they do, religious, cultural, ethnic, social, political and linguistic borders.

To achieve these aims, we will put the student life and learning of our global explorers at the center of our work, tailoring our processes and programs, strategies and spaces to an enhanced student experience.聽We will further develop the relevance and quality of a curriculum aligned with the aspirations of global explorers that combines the best of liberal arts inquiry, integrated student-life and cultural programs, and professional preparedness 鈥� thereby creating a path from curriculum to career or graduate studies for every single student.聽In our curricular development, we will take into account the intellectual and cultural experiences requisite to all of our student constituencies, from first-year visitors to transfer students, from degree-seeking undergraduates to graduate students.聽We will support the curriculum by creating an integrated advising process combining academic, career聽and leadership support, promoting and providing internships and developing the professional skills required by our students鈥� first employers.聽Our students will graduate with the cultural competencies required to live personally and socially meaningful and productive lives wherever they choose.

As a result of steady commitment to these priorities, we will extend our recruitment reach and reputation globally, strengthening enrollments while increasing selectivity along with 鈥渇it,鈥� and supporting our students who require scholarship aid. We make this last commitment in order to compose a student body as socio-economically diverse as it is culturally and linguistically.

We will also prize the inextricable links between excellence in teaching and excellence in research, at once providing resources and expecting accountability for our faculty鈥檚 scholarly and professional productivity, establishing viable career advancement steps and rewarding them appropriately. At the same time, we will provide the faculty development necessary to ensure inspiring teaching and active pedagogies, as well as faculty engagement and intellectual renewal. We will encourage our faculty to invest in AUP鈥檚 rising academic reputation by supporting the faculty鈥檚 scholarship, professional activity聽and conferences. As our faculty retires, we will renew the ranks with talented teacher-scholars deeply invested in AUP鈥檚 mission in fields appropriately supporting the evolving curriculum.

We will create a diverse portfolio of strategic partnerships with sister institutions, consortia聽and governments to leverage the University鈥檚 reputation, growth, enrollments, curricular reach聽and faculty development.

We will invest in the renewal of our facilities, renovating our distributed urban campus in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, creating in the process dedicated student and faculty spaces, new and refreshed learning environments, and coherent hubs of service. We will continually upgrade the learning resources and technologies that support the work of all students, faculty聽and staff.

We will continue to build on the success of the University鈥檚 50th and 55th anniversaries to create a vibrant worldwide community of alumni who support current students鈥� career aspirations and participate regularly in the University鈥檚 development and capital growth. By creating a global President鈥檚 Alumni Advisory Council with annual meetings in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and a thriving virtual network of alumni worldwide, we will draw increasing numbers of alumni to join AUP鈥檚 Board of Trustees, thereby taking responsibility for leadership of the University鈥檚 future.

We will ensure the University鈥檚 sustainability by multiple means, investing in AUP鈥檚 faculty and staff and ensuring the engagement of both with AUP鈥檚 mission; delivering continuous development of our academic offerings and administrative functioning by strengthening our planning and assessment culture; creating a solid business model that rests on appropriately expanded enrollments and reduced dependence on tuition; and, resourcing the strategic plan by means of a capital campaign to provide both an appropriately renovated campus and endowment funds to support AUP鈥檚 academic and student scholarship programs.
