Additional Degree Option with American University in International Relations and Diplomacy/International Service

Partner program with American University (Washington, DC) leading to two Master's degrees

In partnership with American University (AU) in Washington, D.C., the American Graduate School in Paris offers a dual program option allowing you to earn two US-accredited Master’s degrees over the course of three years:

  • A Master of Arts in International Relations and Diplomacy at AGS in Paris, France

  • A Master of International Service in the International Studies Track (MIS-IST) at American University in Washington, DC, USA, (either on-campus or online)

Paris and Washington, D.C. being two of the world’s most important political capitals, both offering invaluable resources and networking opportunities, this dual program provides the ideal combination for the study of international affairs.

Organization of the partnership program

The first two years of this dual program are spent in Paris, at AGS, completing the requirements for the M.A. in International Relations and Diplomacy.

The third year is spent completing the MIS-IST program at American University's School of International Service (SIS), either on campus, in Washington, D.C. or online.

Through the partnership between the two institutions, AU accepts up to 12 credits based on previous coursework at AGS to count toward its 30-credit degree requirement, so that you only have to complete an additional 18 credits in residence at AU in order to obtain AU’s MIS degree after successfully completing AGS’s degree.

Overview of the Master of International Service at AU

The International Studies track of the Master of International Service program offered through AU's School of International Service is designed specifically to complement your preexisting graduate studies at AGS, while allowing you take full advantage of AU’s specific expertise in International Service.

The curriculum enables you to build your own concentration based on your professional goals. Possible concentrations include:

  • Foreign and Security Policy

  • Regional Studies

  • Peace and Conflict Resolution

  • International Negotiation

  • Communication

  • International Development
