Courses

No previous French is required. The summer session is composed of two, four-week, sessions. You can attend either session I or session II or both sessions. Please note that students needing to fulfill the French language immersion requirement MUST complete both sessions.

Session I or II only:
Over the course of the four-week program, you will earn 4-6 credits. The curriculum is focused on French language study. Students are required to take a language course each session and choose from one-credit cultural electives that are taught in either English or French. In order to take six credits, students must enroll in the Paris Study Tour, which had an additional course fee. To see the course offerings, visit the USAC website and click on the appropriate term. Students planning to use financial aid need to be enrolled in at least 6 credits.

Both Session I & II:
Over the course of the eight-week program, you will earn 9-11 credits. The curriculum is focused on French language study. Students are required to take a language course each session and choose from one-credit cultural electives that are either taught in English or French.

Liberal Education Requirements

If you are in catalog year 2016-2017 or later, you can fulfill an Integrative Learning (I1) requirement through study abroad. You will opt in after being accepted to your program and must complete a series of assignments before, during and after your time abroad. Talk with your academic advisor about whether you need to complete an I1 requirement through study abroad. You must complete the first assignments prior to going abroad; retroactive enrollment is not allowed.

Language Immersion

All majors and minors who wish to be certified to teach French must complete an appropriate period of language immersion in residence in a country in which the language is spoken. Students who need to meet this must attend both sessions, as the full eight-week program meets the language immersion requirement. Completing only one of the four week programs WILL NOT meet this requirement and no exceptions will be granted by the French department.
