These courses must be approved by the appropriate Bucknell academic department. An independent course may be taken under the direction of either a Bucknell professor on-campus or a BEF professor in Tours. Consult early with the BEF director and a professor in the discipline you want to study. You will need to decide upon a project and get all necessary approvals from the department and the registrar before going to France. During the semester you will be able to communicate with your professor through e-mail, but both of you must assume that the work will be done independently under the conditions available in France.
