Most courses are taught entirely in French. For those whose language skills do not enable them to take all their coursework in French, one history and one political science course each term are taught in English. All students enroll in a French language or literature course and then, depending on their interests and language skills, can take the remainder of their courses all in French or in a combination of French and English.
Classes are small and each takes advantage of the rich resources of Paris.
Courses in French architecture include field trips to monuments and other landmarks throughout the city. If you study French theatre or music, you'll attend several plays or concerts in the world-famous performance halls of Paris. Each course meets three hours per week, Monday through Thursday. Attendance is required. There are no classes on Fridays, which are reserved for field trips, museum and field outings, study, and private exploration of the city.
