I was struck by the extremely high quality of our professors, who were always available to speak with us, the richness of the classes.
The greatest academic strength of AUP’s graduate programs is the vibrant nexus between teaching and research. The typical twenty-student classroom encourages extraordinary intellectual interactivity between faculty and students, an exchange reinforced by our proactive student advising system. In addition to animated exchange between faculty and students in the classroom, professors forge close mentorships bonds with the graduate cohort. This exceptional relationship between faculty and students and its positive impact on teaching received a special commendation from the Middle States Association in their 2010 Accreditation Report.
The faculty of the International Affairs Department represent our programs’ multi-disciplinary and global approach to contemporary international affairs, law and diplomacy research. Their research and expertise translate into a number of peer-reviewed articles, books and conference appearances annually.
From 2008-2010, for example, the ten full time faculty teaching core or elective courses produced 56 peer-reviewed publications. At the graduate level, our research assistantship program provides an opportunity for young scholars to work closely with their faculty mentors on publication projects in the discipline.
