American Graduate School in Paris

The American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy - already going by the short acronym AGS - was registered with the French Ministry of Education on January 27th, 1994. It inaugurated its M.A. in International Relations and Diplomacy in the summer of 1994, in a classroom in the 16th district of Paris. The 5 students who made up that first class were from 5 different countries.

For students interested in pursuing or advancing their career in international affairs, whether in government, international organizations, nonprofit, or international business, the American Graduate School in Paris offers programs specializing in international relations, diplomacy, international business, and related areas. Two types of programs are available: degree programs (at the graduate level only) and part-time non-degree programs, including certificate programs and study abroad in Paris.

Every stage of the educational process at AGSis designed to support your professional success: from our curricula, which include hands-on approaches, to the connections with the professional arena in Paris, and the many networking opportunities that we organize throughout the year.

Our programs can be tailored to fit your particular career goals through topical concentrations, dual degree options, and internship opportunities in one of the many intergovernmental organizations, NGOs, governmental institutions, or international corporations in Paris.
