French Language Immersion & Area Studies

Nantes Canal

About the Program

Our French Language Immersion & Area Studies Program has two important goals: to improve your written and verbal proficiency in French, and to turn you into an authentic Nantais·e! Our academic program and varied course offering will introduce you to the city's history and actions toward societal change, while our social and cultural program and activities, led by local student tutors, will enable you to take advantage of what Nantes has to offer. Thanks to our close relationships with our partner universities, you can take classes alongside local students--and even student-athletes can study abroad without worrying about missing training or competitions.
