Academic Programs Abroad (APA) is a program provider offering 11 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad, Internship, Intensive Language, and Gap Year abroad programs in 4 countries such as Senegal, France, Morocco, and Martinique.
APA is a boutique program provider in Paris, France with a passion to provide a first-rate study abroad experience that unites academic excellence with the beauty and richness of French and Francophone culture. For over 30 years, students from more than 80 US colleges and universities have received a personalized, immersive education abroad in Paris, France; Dakar, Senegal; Rabat, Morocco; and Fort-de-France, Martinique.
Built on the pillars of academics, culture, and community, each program in the APA portfolio is thoughtfully designed to challenge each student to immerse her or himself in all aspects of the French and Francophone lifestyle. Through this immersion, we have witnessed students grow to become not only more fluent but, mature and globally-minded citizens.

"Academic Program Abroad (APA) proposes an immersion into the academic and cultural world of three Francophone countries: France, Morocco Senegal.
