About Program
Spend summer in Paris taking French culture courses at the AIFS Study Center and earn up to 8 credits. Courses offered in art history, French fashion (credit from Fairfield University) and French Language (credit from CCFS or ILCF) depending on program selection.
The AIFS Study Center is located in the 5th arrondissement, directly opposite Jussieu Metro station. It is nestled between the ancient Latin quarter with all its bookshops and cafés – and the botanical gardens. With a fully equipped classroom and student lounge, the study center offers students the opportunity to learn about French language and culture in a friendly, supportive space that is just a stone’s throw from main attractions such as Notre Dame cathedral or the Pantheon.

Diversity & Inclusion 💙
BIPOC Support
At AIFS Abroad, we support all participants in their study or internship abroad journey — no matter their gender, race, religion, age, physical ability, or sexual orientation. Everyone’s identity is shaped by many different factors, and for some, faith, spirituality, and religion play an important role in choosing where to go.
We encourage you to think about what matters most to you as you explore your program options.

LGBTQIA+ Support
At AIFS Abroad, we’re here to support you throughout your study or intern abroad experience. We encourage you to connect with the culture around you—both where you’re from and where you’re going.
Each person brings their own background and perspective, and that matters when choosing a program and a destination. Taking time to reflect on your identity and learning about the experiences of others is a meaningful part of going abroad.
Everyone’s journey is different, and where you go can shape how included and comfortable you feel. As you explore your options, we hope the information below helps you find the program and location that feel right for you.
