Study Abroad excursions bring the College curriculum to life

Study Abroad program offerings for undergraduate students in Paris during the Spring 2024 quarter include courses that fulfill general education, major, or minor requirements in a range of disciplines within the social sciences, humanities, and physical sciences. Faculty-designed excursions promote dynamic engagement beyond the classroom as the city and surroundings become the unofficial “fifth course” of each sequence.
