The minimum language requirement is two years of college French or the equivalent with grades of B or better. It is highly desirable that students intending to participate in this program should be studying French during the entire year preceding their arrival overseas. Before applying, students should consult with their academic advisers to determine whether remaining general and concentration requirements can be completed on schedule. Students must be in good academic, financial and disciplinary standing in order to apply for or participate in any Vanderbilt Study Abroad program. The deadlines for receiving completed applications are February 15 and October 1 for the fall and spring respectively.
Earlier submission is advisable.
If spaces are still available, consideration will be given to late applicants. Applicants from institutions other than Vanderbilt must also submit a letter of recommendation from their Dean stating they are in good academic, financial and disciplinary standing with their institution. Applications cannot be processed until all materials have been received. Basic costs are kept at a minimum so that they compare favorably with the expenses on the Nashville campus. Vanderbilt students' scholarships or financial aid may be applied toward the program.
