Study Abroad in Paris: Courses
Placement is determined by an examination given on arrival in Paris regardless of previous French study. Due to the number of courses available, students should realize some timetable conflicts may be unavoidable. All students must take a cours pratique (French 101, 151, 201, 301 or 401). Attendance is mandatory.

Students enrolled in a cours pratique on the AIFS program may enroll in two special seminars conducted by the Sorbonne for AIFS students.
