Description:
| Study in Paris, one of the largest and most beautiful metropolitan centers in the world - for centuries the capital of European learning and art. With its ancient historical roots, rich cultural diversity, magnificent monuments, romantic boulevards and cafes, and some of the most famous museums in the world, Paris offers an unequaled opportunity for an exciting, challenging, and enriching semester abroad.
Study in Paris, where urban and suburban areas combine to form one of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world, where Romanesque, Gothic and Modern architecture create a skyline equally stunning by day and by night, where the basilica of Sacre-Coeur atop Montmartre overlooks 2001 years of history, and where the Seine meanders through the city highlighting the Ile de la Cite with its magnificent Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Ile des Cygnes with its smaller copy of the Statue of Liberty. Wander through the Latin Quarter and the Jardin du Luxembourg, and walk along the grand Boulevard St. Germain - all not far from the Sorbonne Nouvelle. Discover the major open-air market and bazaar, Marche aux Puces at Porte de Clignancourt, at the end of Metro #4. Stroll along the elegant Avenue Montaigne and Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, centers of French haute couture. Courses will be taught at both the Universite de Paris III, Sorbonne Nouvelle, and in Reid Hall, formerly a private residence and now a university facility with in-garden study areas. Reid Hall is located on the Rue de Chevreuse near the intersection of Boulevard du Montparnasse and Boulevard Raspail.
Although students of all majors are encouraged to apply for the program, students interested in art, art history, international relations, political science, and literature will find the Paris Semester especially enriching. All instruction will be in French. Classes will be taught by French instructors associated with the Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris III and other educational institutions. During the first of the semester's two sessions, you'll take an advanced language course and a required course on contemporary France. During the longer second session, you'll take nine credits in courses selected from the Paris Semester's multidisciplinary course offerings.
Students live in pairs in private homes for the duration of the session. Bedding and linens are provided, as well as breakfast daily and five dinners per week. | |
