Fully immersive, unforgettable semester!

I still reference my notes from the preparatory session!

I participated in the Strasbourg, France program in the spring of 2018, during which I stayed with a host family and interned at the National and University Library (la BNU). This experience gave me so much vocabulary and so much cultural insight that are absolutely necessary to any degree (major or minor too!) in French. I am currently a PhD candidate and a T.A. in French Studies, and I love sharing my study abroad stories with my students. In many ways, my semester in Strasbourg opened the door to graduate school.

Even if you're not earning a PhD in languages, the IFE program will make you a competitive candidate for any job. What employer would not be impressed by an international internship?
