(Outgoing Program)
PrintSaveShare
Deepen your understanding of local French and global cultures, politics, art and current events while earning credits in your field of study. Electives are taught in English and focus on an active learning approach, as your instructors take you outside the classroom and into the city, using the streets, markets, museums, and people of Paris to enhance your learning and discovery. Semester and academic year students can also hone their French language skills in courses available at all levels of proficiency. An Early Start option in the Fall semester allows you to jump start your language learning before the semester begins.
