Knew the french classroom culture. Prepared for my future studies in Paris. Knew how french interact with each others. Knew the mainstream culture i.e. the type of books or movies they like Weiyu L - Trinity University View Entire Review
It was something I had dreamed of my whole time at MHC. I have become a little more sophisticated in my dressing, food etiquette and cuisine. Improving my french language is very imperative to my future goal of working with medecins sans frontieres. Genevieve A - Mount Holyoke College View Entire Review
Yes, definitely! I feel like I really grew up when I studied abroad-- became more responsible, better understood my own cultural background, and continue to search for similar experiences. I was an intern for API when I returned to UMass, and I even ended up writing my thesis on the positive outcomes of study abroad. Kate H - University of Massachusetts Amherst View Entire Review
About
Paris is well known as one of the most intellectual and intriguing cities in the world. The city maintains its status as the premier city in France and a leader in politics, art and fashion; every section of the city has its own unique charm and makes Paris a city like no other. For the history lover, the tour should begin in the heart of old Paris, the Ile de la Cité, which lies in the middle of the Seine River. Here one can explore the Cathédrale de Notre-Dame de Paris, the Palais de Justice and a hidden jewel, Sainte Chapelle. For the art lover, the city holds countless museums, all boasting incredible collections. Some of the most popular include the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Musée Rodin and Centre Georges Pompidou. Tucked away in the city’s twenty arrondissements, or districts, are many more amazing sights and sounds waiting to be discovered.
Designed for students who wish to study abroad in Paris and take their courses with French students, this program allows students to select their courses from those offered at the Université Paris Diderot. All students also complete one course taught by the API Resident Director at the API Paris Center each semester. Interested students may also choose to complete a teaching internship for an additional fee.
Located within the 13th arrondissement of Paris that is known by Parisians as the Rive Gauche, Paris Diderot is an ideal university to study and immerse oneself in the local culture. Students can select from courses in French language, the humanities, and social sciences. All courses are taken with French students and taught in French. To prepare for the immersion experience, students complete preparatory program or “stage” aimed at introducing visiting students to the French academic system and the campus.
