The opportunity to use newly acquired language skills while continuing to develop them through study abroad is the high point in college life for many foreign language students. During their off-campus experience, they study at a university and, whenever possible, live with a family in order to experience firsthand the culture of that country. Students in approved off campus study programs generally earn the same number of credits as they would while attending classes at Albion.
Travel expenses are additional.
The program is open to French majors as well as to advanced language students majoring in other fields. A one-semester internship in Paris is another option. An Albion College semester program for Spanish students in Mexico includes course work in language, literature, history and other fields. Other GLCA programs are offered in Europe, Africa and Asia. All foreign study opportunities at Albion are offered through the William W. and Gladys Dawson Diehl International Studies Program.
