Study Abroad in France

Study with Centre faculty and students in Strasbourg or among French students through a language immersion program in Nantes.

The Centre-in-Strasbourg program is led by Centre faculty and explores subjects of French culture, language, government, and social climate. Strasbourg is known as the “crossroads of Europe” for its central location, and is home to an ancient Gothic cathedral, European Parliament, Council of Europe, and Court of Human Rights.

The Université de Nantes program in Nantes is a collaborative program with Sewanee and the Institute for the International Education of Students’ Nantes-French Language Immersion & Area Studies Program. This program is a more in-depth French language experience with students living and learning among French students.
