Study Abroad in France

 

Park University now gives you the opportunity to learn the French language in an immersion environment at the University of Caen in Normandy, just north of Paris. Extraordinarily affordable programs as short as three weeks allow you to study intensive French language in a friendly, safe, welcoming environment.

The University of Caen Basse-Normandie's CEFE (Centre d'Enseignment du Français pour Etrangers) offers three and six week summer French language programs. The daily classes are taught by teachers of the carré international , specialists of French as a Foreign Language. Additionally, CEFE offers semester and year opportunities for extending your French language and culture knowledge. Housing is on the university's campus in dorms or in a home stay with a French family.

Best of all, the price is comparable to Park's tuition and housing!
