An independent college of liberal arts and sciences, AUP is accredited in the U.S. by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. AUP is an urban university, with six buildings centrally located in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, on the Left Bank, near the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. Like many urban American and European universities, the campus of AUP is spread throughout the area, mixing with the surrounding neighborhood.

About the University of Paris-Sorbonne: The Sorbonne was founded in 1257 by Robert de Sorbon, who was chaplain to the King of France, Saint Louis. The school first served economically disadvantaged students, and quickly grew to be known as a center of philosophical and political thought. The university was closed in 1791 during the French Revolution, and re-opened in 1821. At the close of the 19th century, it was rebuilt on the same site and was rebaptized the "New Sorbonne." Today, the Sorbonne is the universal symbol of the French university system, and to the French it represents the future of France's intellectual prowess. Abroadco students attend classes at the University's Cours de Civilisation Française, located in Paris's charming Latin Quarter.
