Academic Programs Abroad (APA)

Academic Programs Abroad (APA) is a Paris-based higher education institution with nearly 40 years of experience offering academically rigorous, immersive programs rooted in French and Francophone cultures. With programs in Paris, Dakar (Senegal), and Rabat (Morocco), APA partners with universities to deliver summer, semester, and academic-year study that integrates language instruction, interdisciplinary coursework, and experiential learning.

APA emphasizes academic integration within local educational systems, sustained faculty engagement, and close on-site advising. Programs are supported by established academic oversight structures, including a U.S. school-of-record framework, to facilitate credit transfer in alignment with partner institution requirements. APA is recognized by the French government as an Établissement d’enseignement supérieur privé.
