PARIS: It needs no introduction. Renowned for its art, architecture, cuisine, and cafés. Paris is the international heart of Europe and the site of an unforgettable one-week study abroad program. Students will have ample time to explore major sights as well as experience parts of the city that are off the beaten path. All activities will be conducted in English, but this is also an excellent time to brush up on your French!
