Boston University: Paris - Contemporary Studies Program

Boston University’s newest program in Paris combines contemporary cultural study at the Université Paris 8 (Vincennes—Saint-Denis), with equal immersion in the artistic and intellectual life of this exciting city. It also offers the full co-curricular program and student life support of BU’s Paris Academic Center. By combining a strong thematic grounding in contemporary studies with an interdisciplinary approach integrating literary studies, linguistics and social theory, this program places students squarely in the Parisian tradition of critical study and creative productivity.

For advanced students of French, as well as students who want an edge in international fields like the arts, linguistics, literary studies, architecture, journalism, sociology, women’s studies, anthropology, philosophy, French language, politics, music, film or theater, the Paris Contemporary Studies Program presents an unparalleled opportunity.
