Program Description:
Based in the heart of Paris, the Area Studies and Culture program introduces students to the language, history, politics, and culture of France, placing this fascinating country in a broad regional context in Western Europe. Coursework, language training, excursions, research projects, and the experience of living in a homestay help students to understand the local culture and to confront the issues facing this nation.

No prior knowledge of French is required. However, intensive language training is provided, thereby helping students to develop the skills and confidence to live, study, and conduct research in a foreign country. In addition to the language training students will also be encouraged to partake in several scheduled activities in French. Social encounters with French nationals, as well as organized field trips, all contribute to a greater understanding of France.
