Degree Audits
Junior Degree Check
All students entering their third year, which entails having
earned between 64 and 80 credits, are required to complete a
Junior Degree Check with the student's assigned academic
advisor. This third year audit verifies the student's academic
progress in order to help ensure a timely schedule for
graduation. All Junior Degree Checks are verified by
Academic Affairs before becoming a permanent part of the
student's file.
Graduation Request
Degree applications are to be completed in September of the
student's final academic year of attendance (this includes
students graduating directly after the fall, spring or summer of
that academic year). Failure to submit this mandatory
graduation request in a timely manner could result in a
student's being excluded from the May graduation

Interdisciplinary Initiatives
The Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and
Science emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to
education and research. The department offers a number of
courses which were created to serve the needs of other
departments, and the applications in these courses are
strongly interdisciplinary. The department is active in the
FirstBridge program, teaching with professors from Art,
Comparative Literature, and International and Comparative
Politics. Furthermore, it has strong research groups in the
areas of Human Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence,
and Robotics, which are inherently interdisciplinary. The
department offers minors in Applied Mathematics, Applied
Statistics, and Information and Communication Technology.

Major The History Major has four principal goals. Upon graduating
with a History Major from AUP, a student should have a strong
in History knowledge of historical trends across cultures
in at least two different geographical or thematic areas.
Graduates are expected to be able to critically assess the
value of information by identifying, interpreting and narrating
significant historical data. They should be able to discuss
critically a historiographical work, identifying the basic
motivations and methodological approaches of the author
within the discipline of History. Lastly, students should be
prepared “to do” history through a strong mastery of reading
primary texts and writing historical essays.

Major in Urban Urban Studies has grown out of the humanities, social
sciences and technical skills-based areas of knowledge
Studies providing it with critical perspectives and professional outlets.
Contributions to the field of Urban Studies can be found
across the divisions of the university, including courses and
visits to cities in Europe and into Africa and Asia. The Urban
Studies Major integrates these teaching and research
opportunities into a coherent program with introductory
courses and methodological foundations. Through the major,
the connection between AUP and the city is articulated
into an “urban learning experience” that does not end
at the boundaries of each discipline.

Program Goals
Psychology at AUP provides students with a solid background
in the central theories, approaches and controversies in
contemporary psychology and an understanding of their
historical underpinnings. The department is especially
interested in how culture and social context influence basic
aspects of psychology: identity, human development and the
life course; motivation, cognition and perception; gender and
sexuality; conscious and unconscious processes; interpersonal
relationships and social representations; health, pathology
and the concept of normality. Courses consider human
psychology from a variety of analytical frameworks
(neuropsychological, psychodynamic, cognitive, cultural,
developmental, social, etc.) with the goal of giving students
insight into the complexity of human beings, their social
positions and relationships. Challenging the validity of any
single framework, the program aims to foster dialogue and
debate between different orientations on psychology.

Division True to the University’s liberal arts tradition, the Division of Global
Communications and Film trains students both to think critically
of Global and produce creatively as engaged global citizens and committed
professionals. Students study film, communications, media, and culture
Communications from comparative and cross-cultural perspectives, drawing upon both
theory and practice. The Division encourages teamwork, imaginative
and Film thinking, and creative problem solving. Students receive a rigorous
intellectual training in different aspects of the communications
and film sectors. Areas covered include new media, cinema, branding,
and journalism, both print and audio-visual. Students engage with
politics, development, ethics, human rights, and the environment
from a communications perspective. The curriculum allows them
to combine practical classes with the study of contemporary theory
and pre-professional courses with rigorous academic research.
Active participation in the University’s student media is encouraged.
Division faculty teach and research in three disciplines: film studies,
communications, and anthropology. The focus of faculty research is
on the global circulation of cultural forms and meanings in discourse,
image, and practice in a world transformed by digital communications
technologies.

Interdisciplinary Initiatives
Communication studies is a field that overlaps with politics,
sociology, anthropology, and literature, to name a few. Thus,
interdisciplinary initiatives are practically built into the
definition of the field. In addition, the Global
Communications Department has devised a new Political
Communication minor to serve students interested in politics
or communications who want more in-depth treatment
of this important topical overlap. Several courses are
cross-listed with International and Comparative Politics.
The department also houses the anthropology courses of
the university. Some Global Communications courses are
cross-listed with film. A media and gender course is cross-
listed with Gender Studies. Finally several business courses
are part of our degree requirements.
