The program is designed for students who have already acquired a proficiency in French and a familiarity with French culture and letters that will allow them to function effectively within an authentic French university, as opposed to an institute for foreigners. Courses are both demanding and rewarding. Students are selected competitively by the Study Abroad committee of the Department of French and Classics, upon application. An interview and an essay in French may be included as part of the selection process. Overall performance in all courses counts heavily in selection decisions, but excellence in French courses and language proficiency carry the greatest weight.
