Paris

Term: Summer 
Dates: May 29 to July 1

Description: The Kentucky Institute for International Studies program in France offers Paris as its classroom, with a selection of courses designed to take full advantage of the abundant cultural resources provided by the city's artistic treasures, intriguing history, and respected literary traditions. With its reputation for good tase, fine cuisine, high fashion, and legendary sports, Paris has something for everyone.

With five weeks in Paris, students will have the time to become familiar with this modern, animated city, so well known for setting trends while upholding established traditions.

The five weeks in Paris have been planned to give KIIS students a balance between structured time for classes and program activities and unstructured time for study, for completing group projects, and for the pursuit of individual interests. Both during class and outside of class, there will be many chances for gaining cultural insights and developing personal friendships.

Highlights: During the KIIS program in France, there will not only be time for exploring the major attractions in Paris but also time to discover for oneself its less frequented out-of-the-way spots. Instead of racing to taste hurriedly of the countless Parisian delights that will be available, program participants can savor those irresistible moments that are far too rich to be enjoyed at a tourist's pace.

The entire length of the program will be spent in Paris, the capital of France and the center of the political, economic, and cultural life of the country. A Carte Orange metro/bus pass facilitates transportation within the city, allowing each student unlimited opportunities for personalizing the "adventure."

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.
