In accordance with US Federal Government guidelines, The American University of Paris defines the credit hour as:
An amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than:
(1) one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two additional hours of student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester or trimester hour of credit, or ten to twelve weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or
(2) at least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.
For more information on our credit hour policy, please consult our credit hour听webpage.
Students must make certain that they have the necessary prerequisites for each course. Failure to do so may result in inadequate preparation and thus听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 insufficient enrollment. The curriculum may also be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions and program development.
