Tulane Summer in Paris Study Abroad Program
If you are thinking about studying abroad this summer, please consider the Summer in Paris program. During this month-long program (May 31- June 28), students take six credits taught by Tulane faculty. Most courses are offered in English, so no knowledge of French is needed. Classes are based on excursions and guest speakers, so students get a lot of experience outside the traditional classroom.
Best of all, we are offering two health-related courses! You can take SPHU 3910- Public health in France and/or SPHU 3920- The French medical system: history and present. We also offer fantastic courses in international business and French history and literature. See the attached fliers and the website for all the details.
