Exchange Opportunities with French Studies

The department of French Studies highly encourages students to travel abroad to study. While being immersed in different cultures and lifestyles, students will develop a fuller appreciation of the French language and have an opportunity to study it in greater depth.

Students enrolled in a French Plan are encouraged to go on exchange in their third year of studies. Students may choose to study abroad for the Fall or Winter Terms or for the entirety of the academic year. 

Starting in mid-October, the International Programs Office will host drop-in Zoom Rooms (no appointment necessary) on a regular basis. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can consult the International Programs Office (IPO) IPO Webinar Series.
