Description: In 1984, Duke in France was created by the Department of Romance Studies as a Duke-administered study abroad program. This program introduces American students directly into French institutions of higher education, where they study alongside French students. Today, the program has grown into an educational consortium that includes students from Emory and Cornell Universities, as well as other American colleges and universities. The administrative and academic center, EDUCO, co-managed by the three named universities, is located in the historic Latin Quarter.

Highlights: From the spring 2008 application deadline and forward, Duke University will serve as the admitting institution for all non-Duke/Emory/Cornell students wishing to study with EDUCO in Paris. These non-consortium students will not be allowed to participate in the Duke exchange with Sciences Po, but will be regular, participating students in the EDUCO consortium agreements with Paris 1, 4, and 7. The final transcript of grades for non-consortium students will be issued by Duke University.
