France (Paris and Angers): Atelier

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

From living with a host family to exploring a new city, your time abroad will bring you many opportunities and challenges. This pre-study abroad workshop will prepare you for study, residency, and travel in France. You will learn ways to understand and negotiate the challenges of a cultural and linguistic immersion experience. Throughout the class, faculty members and previous study abroad participants will introduce you to the remarkably rich history and culture of France. The workshop will also address practical questions, such as navigating French universities. These presentations will help you engage in your own academic and personal discovery while in France. The class is graded on a “Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory” basis, and no previous knowledge of French is required.
