Program
Students enroll directly in the Université de Bourgogne (University of Burgundy), where they will take courses alongside French students, or at the CIEF (Centre International d'Etudes Françaises). All courses are taught in French by regular University of Burgundy faculty. Students will enroll in both semesters of thème et version, a translation course required of all participants regardless of major. French majors will also be expected to enroll in a French literature course each semester. French Studies majors will find a large choice of electives in any other liberal arts field. All students are encouraged to choose courses to satisfy General Education Requirements (upon petition), second major requirements, or general interest. A total of 32 credits (pass/fail) may be earned during the year abroad.
