The University
La Sorbonne, which is one of the oldest universities in Europe, was founded in the 13th century. Since the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, students from all over the world have come to the Sorbonne to take classes in various disciplines. This is true now, at the beginning of the new millennium, as it was then. The reputation of the Sorbonne as one of the world's greatest seats of learning still attracts students from all over the globe.
The SUNY at the Sorbonne summer program in Paris, France is an intensive French language and culture program. In this four week program students will earn 3 credits of French language and 3 credits of Global Studies coursework. This course gives a look into French culture and French organizations and their operations in and outside of France, with a special focus on Europe. Incorporated in the course are weekly visits to French and International companies. This allows students to see and interact firsthand with the operations taking place. In addition to these weekly visits, the program includes field trips to the Champagne or Bordeaux regions and the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium or Salzburg, Austria. Both are intended to give a better understanding of French heritage and the European political community.
The Program Director
The program is supervised by our Paris program director. The director organizes airport pickup, assigns housing, teaches the Global Studies course, evaluates grades and credits, and organizes the orientation program, cultural activities, and excursions in Paris.
