Paris

Term: Summer 
Dates: June 29 - July 26 (4 weeks)

Description: This is an exceptional opportunity for intensive study of the nation's language and culture, made possible through Florida State University's association with the Institut Catholique, one of Paris' most prestigious language schools. Students are taught entirely in French by native French speakers, faculty who are specialists in teaching the language to foreign students. Courses in French civilization are also taught in French. Students enroll in the Institut Catholique through Florida State and receive up to six hours of FSU credit. Students may enter at any level, from beginning to advanced. Classes are four mornings a week, with an additional class meeting two afternoons a week, leaving time for city explorations. Students also tour City Hall and meet the mayor of Paris.

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

Housing
Students are housed in single rooms in Cité Universitaire, an international campus built and maintained by countries from all over the world. All rooms have telephones, with baths and kitchen on each floor of the dormitory. Students may also take inexpensive, three-course meals in the university dining rooms. 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.
