Have you always wanted to learn French but never found the time?

Did you take French in high school and feel the need to refresh it?

Are you contemplating becoming a French major or minor?

Do you see yourself in a career that requires the knowledge of a second language?

If so, this program is perfect for you!

Created in collaboration with the Institute for Ameri­can Universities, Aix-en-Provence's oldest study abroad institution, the program takes place during winter break and consists of one 3-credit language course and an array of excursions and activities.

Every morning, our small class will meet in a beautifully-renovated church located in the heart of the historic district. Afternoons will be devoted to discovering French culture through guided visits of museums and landmarks, both in Aix-en-Provence and its neighbor Marseille, France’s second largest city and 2013 European Capital of Culture. We will make sure, however, that you are left with plenty of time to experience provençal life in a town filled with coffee shops, artisan bakeries, and spectacular farmers markets!
