Why not spend the summer in Europe, traveling to new countries and
choosing from a variety of interesting UL courses? Imagine June in Paris: open-air cafés,
strolling along the Seine, visiting the Latin Quarter, and enjoying the City of
Light, all while earning UL credits in a variety of subjects.
Through the classes offered, you might choose to learn to about
the celebrated art collections at the Musée d'Orsay or the Louvre, attend a
French play, or sketch or paint the major gardens and other sites of the
city. Or you might explore the French
press, business organization, or popular culture, European health care systems,
or the social organization of Parisian neighborhoods. As part of every class, you will visit Paris
and the surrounding areas and gain a new perspective on France and Europe. So take this opportunity to open yourself to
new cultures and new ideas and to return home with a broader outlook and
enriched educational experience.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette offers an exciting
six-week summer program in Paris, France.
Students take three courses for nine credit hours, and courses are
designed to take full advantage of the cultural and historical resources of
Paris and its environs. The schedule
allows students to explore Paris and the immediate areas while receiving
college-level instruction from knowledgeable, dedicated professors.
In addition to scheduled class meetings, excursions, and field
trips, long weekends allow students to travel independently to neighboring
countries in Western Europe. Optional
excursions will also be available at additional, modest cost. Because Paris is a major rail hub for Europe,
such countries as England, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, and even Italy and
Spain are within easy reach.
All courses, except for the language courses, are taught in
English by UL Lafayette faculty. From
May 30 to July 12, the program will be centered in Paris, a city rich in
museums, history, music and sights.
COSTS Costs include: tuition and fees, accommodations in
two-person rooms, breakfast and one meal per day, metro passes, museum entrance
fees and transportation for program-sponsored field trips. Airfare
is not included and must be purchased by the student.
