Location
Paris, France
The program is based in Paris, the capital city of France. Paris offers tremendous artistic and cultural resources to students. The Boston University Center, including administrative offices and classrooms, is located within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, in the 15th arrondissement.
Housing
Students have a choice of living in residence halls or homestays.
Student Life
After an orientation period, students enroll in three courses and begin the internship placement process. During the second half of the semester, students participate in local professional life through faculty-supervised internships. Students serve as interns full time, Monday through Friday, while also attending small group and individual writing tutorials which monitor progress in the internship and the drafting of an extensive analytical internship report. An oral defense of the report completes the semester's requirements.
