Study Abroad in France
We offer several options for students to study in France. Our most popular option is a summer program in Montpellier, France. This year, the program will be held from May 26 through June 29, 2009. The program includes 4 weeks of classroom instruction and local excursions in Montpellier, and one week of excursions at the end of the program - including trips to Normandy and several days in Paris.
Students participating in the program will earn 6 credits of TTU undergraduate credit (at the 2000, 3000 or 4000 level). The Summer in France program is open to students at TTU who have had at least one year of French or the equivalent.
