Description

The KIIS program in Quebec City is based at the Universite Laval, one of North America's oldest universities. The university is located in a calm area on the outskirts of town with easy access to a grocery store and bookstore as well as a shopping mall 5 minutes away.

The university is only a few minutes away by bus (which comes to campus frequently) from Quebec City's historic downtown. Students are close to all the major places in Quebec City such as Le Chateau Frontenac, La Porte St. Jean, La Terrasse Dufferin, the Quebec Parliament, La Citadelle (Quebec City's original fortification from the 1600's!), La Place Royale (a historic landmark that takes you back to the time of the French settlers). And a mere fifteen minutes outside the city lies the tranquil oasis of Ile D'Orleans.

Kentucky Institute for International Studies's Mission Statement

The Kentucky Institute for International Studies is a consortium of colleges and universities dedicated to providing quality international education. KIIS is founded on the conviction that an international experience should be part of the education of as many people as possible. KIIS programs have four primary objectives: (1) to establish high-quality, low-cost, academically sound international study programs for students; (2) to provide faculty from member institutions a means for professional growth; (3) to create language and culture programs for professionals and develop links with their counterparts in foreign countries; and (4) to promote the study of foreign languages. KIIS also seeks to develop new opportunities for international experiences which meet the needs of students, faculty, academic institutions, and community organizations, always taking into consideration the changing times and shifting demands of a global society.
