Term: Summer 
Dates: 4-wk: month of July; 6-wk: beg. July to mid-August

Description: For the 59th consecutive year, Temple University invites students and teachers of French to spend an unforgettable summer in Paris studying at the Sorbonne. Join people from all over the country, of various ages and backgrounds, and share a valuable learning experience in an ideal setting. Temple University offers students the opportunity to study at one of the world's great universities, develop your language skills, and make lasting friendships in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere.

Courses at the Sorbonne are designed to fit individual needs, whether you are a beginner, a student with some experience, or a teacher wishing to sharpen your skills. Although Temple in Paris is a university-level program, selected high school seniors may be accepted. Large enough to provide diversity and courses of a professional quality, the Sorbonne Study Program is small enough to ensure personal contact and attention.

Highlights: Three faculty-led weekend excursions give students the opportunity to visit sites such as Chartres, Reims, Giverny, or the Chateaux on the Loire.

Participants will be able to enjoy all Paris has to offer, including the cafes of the Latin Quarter and Montparnasse, the small streets of Montmartre, the Champs-Elysees, Gothic churches, classical theatre, and the Musee d'Orsay.
