Study Abroad

Majors in French are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester, usually during their junior year, abroad in one of the department's approved programs. The department conducts its own summer program in Paris and sponsors a semester/year program in Paris with Duke and Cornell, EDUCO. Students enrolled in the latter program may choose from a wide variety of classes offered both at the EDUCO center and at several French institutions, including three branches of the University of Paris, I, IV, and VII. Selected students also may study at the prestigious Institut des Sciences Politiques (year program only). The department gives credit toward the French studies major or minor only for classes taken through an Emory program. However, in specific cases, and upon preapproval by the French director of undergraduate studies and the CIPA office, some credit may be earned overseas in programs sponsored by other institutions that offer courses or career opportunities not available through Emory.

For more information, see Study Abroad.

Awards and Honors

The Mrs. B.R. Bray Prize is offered annually for the year's best work in French. Sigma chapter of Phi Sigma Iota, the national Foreign language honor society, was installed at Emory in 1930.
