Summer Program in Lyon, France

UMKC¹s Summer Study Abroad Program in Lyon, France has a few spaces still
open for students. This 6-week immersion program offers both undergraduate
and graduate students an excellent quality yet still budget-conscious option
for summer study abroad.

Coursework: Students take the equivalent of 9 credit-hours of coursework:
one 3-hour culture course with a UMKC professor and the equivalent of 6
credit-hours of language and culture courses at the Centre International
d¹Etudes Françaises at the Université Lumière-Lyon II. Optional weekend
excursions include trips to Annecy and Avignon.
Graduate students have the option of taking the language & culture track or
focusing on language pedagogy.

Lodging is with host families, all of whom have significant experience with
American students. Lodging fees cover room, laundry, and all meals except
weekday lunches.

Approximate costs, not including travel to/from Lyon, weekday lunches and
spending money: $4500 for undergraduates, $5000 for graduate students.

Pre-requisites: Age 18 or older, one year of university-level French or the
equivalent.

Final deadline for applications: April 16th
