Introduction

A US-accredited Ph.D. in France The Ph.D. in International Relations and Diplomacy at AGS combines the wide recognition of an American degree with the unique experience of a Paris-based program. It is accredited in the US as an affiliated program of Arcadia University (Pennsylvania) and taught at the American Graduate School in Paris, a private nonprofit institution of higher education recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education. Classes are taught in the heart of Paris. The French capital – which is also one of Europe’s capitals and an international hub – is an ideal location for doctoral research in international relations as it offers access to countless research libraries, archives and special collections. It also provides internship opportunities with government institutions, inter-govermental organizations and NGOs. The language of instruction and for the writing of the dissertation is English; no knowledge of French is required to enroll.  The program consists of 1.5 to 2 years of graduate coursework and four years dedicated to the research and wriring of the doctoral dissertation. Candidates have the ability to tailor the program around their interests and career objectives through elective courses and through the choice of their research topic. The highest academic standards are sought in the coursework as well as in the methodology, research, and writing of the dissertation. A unique aspect of the Ph.D. program at AGS is the very close guidance provided to students throughout the dissertation process. Combined M.A.-Ph.D. program AGS offers a combined M.A.-Ph.D. program per the American model. The combined M.A.-Ph.D. program allows students to take the five required courses for both degrees simultaneously. Ph.D. candidates having done their M.A. in International Relations and Diplomacy at AGS would therefore not have to take the required courses again, but would only have to take seven elective courses. Note: Passage from the M.A. to the Ph.D. program is not automatic. It is subject to approval by the Academic Committee.
