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.
