Career Outcomes

Throughout their graduate degrees, AUP guides students toward shaping their future careers around the issues and/or industries they care about most. They may arrive in Paris with a vague idea of a future career, but they will almost certainly leave with a new found passion, interest or cause they take to heart. And they will definitely leave much better informed about the world around them and about the possibilities open to them across it.

The primary function of the unit is to maintain this access to advising via people, resources and workshops. The ACE Center’s long-term goal is to increase outreach and efficiency via investment in the redesign of processes and the integration of innovative technology.
