Courses are taught by native faculty and by APSU faculty, as available, during the group study programs. Students may earn a variety of credits that apply to their degree programs. The Study Abroad in Quebec program is an intensive French language immersion course. It is open to students who have completed a minimum of one year of college-level French or its equivalent. The program uses coursework, homestay, and organized activities to create a total immersion environment.
Students take courses in language, conversation and the culture of Quebec.
Courses are taught entirely in French by native faculty. Afternoons, students choose from a number of organized activities, including volleyball, hiking, canoeing, theater, dance, art, and singing folk songs. All activities are organized by a team of energetic French language monitors who keep students speaking French throughout the day. Weekends include optional excursions to visit the cities of Quebec and Montreal, as well as the Lac St. Jean and Saguenay regions of the province of Quebec. For advanced students, there is a three-week course in Business French, as well as a program in pedagogy for teachers of French.
