Description

This exceptional opportunity for intensive study of the language and culture of France is offered in association with the Institut Catholique, one of Paris' most prestigious language schools. Students are taught entirely in French by native French speaking faculty who are specialists in teaching the language to foreign students. Students are placed in the language course most appropriate to their level of understanding, from beginning to advanced. Upper level courses in French civilization are also offered, and are taught in French. Classes are five mornings a week, with an additional class meeting one afternoon a week, leaving time for city explorations.

Students gain a better understanding of the city through guided tours of famous districts in Paris, which in the past have included the Latin Quarter, the Marais, and Montmartre. Also, in previous years, tours of the Louvre, Centre Pompidou, and L'Institut du Monde Arabe have highlighted the cultural significance of this world capital. A day trip exposing students to French life outside the city is usually included. This is often a visit to the village of Chartres for a guided tour of the famous cathedral. New for this year- a trip to Belgium will allow students to experience another French-speaking country. Additionally, July is an exciting month to be in Paris as Bastille Day is July 14th and the Tour de France ends on the city's Champs d'Elysées this same month.

Eligibility
This program is open to all students interested in an intensive study of French language and culture.

Housing
Students reside in comfortable accommodations at the Cité Universitaire, an international campus built and maintained by countries from all over the world. Students have a private room with a bathroom and may prepare meals in shared kitchens or take inexpensive, three-course meals in the campus cafeteria. Note: Housing arrangements are subject to change.

Highlights

Paris. The word alone is evocative-of artists and intellectuals, queens and guillotines, cafés and haute couture, boulevards and gothic spires, existentialists and expatriates, Revolution and Resistance. Students in the summer Paris programs will be constantly discovering, learning about, and exploring the reality behind the romantic word.

Paris is different. And precisely this-living another culture's difference in language and daily life-is one of the enduring gifts of study abroad.
