Interested in pursuing an American degree in France? While abroad, students explore Aix and the surrounding regions through courses, field studies, and cultural activities. Students in the Business and French Honors Program will receive priority placement in internships and can expect to earn three credits. Student Life : Students have opportunities to participate in student-focused events such as movie nights, cooking classes, activities at a local student center, talent shows, Latin dance nights, and wine tastings with other IAU students and students from the local French universities.
The cost of field studies and study tours is included in the program fee and, as such, students are strongly encouraged to participate. Students travel to areas in the region on field study tours that complement classroom learning. Some courses include field studies to other parts of France, Europe, and North Africa. IAU has an on-campus Wellness Program that gives students access to a staff psychologist.
IAU staff have office hours that are available to students as drop-ins or by appointment. Housing : A French homestay is considered the best form of housing because it provides an immediate introduction to life in this new place. It is an incomparable opportunity for those who seek knowledge that is neither superficial nor secondhand. It provides an introduction into the community and is a great incentive for learning the language.
Most of the homestays are approximately a tominute walk from classes. When living in French homes, students are on a demi-pension plan, which includes daily breakfast and six dinners per week. It was definitely the most worthwhile experience I've ever had. There's nothing about my college career that I loved more than my experience at IAU.
