Study Abroad - Programs
Summer 2004
Paris, France
June 4, 2004 - July 9, 2004 (tentative only)



Program Overview

Study art, music and French in Paris, one of the largest and most beautiful metropolitan centers in the world - for centuries the capital of European learning. With its historical roots, rich cultural diversity, magnificent monuments, elegant opera houses, and some of the most famous museums in the world. Paris offers an unequaled opportunity for an exciting, challenging and educational Summer Session abroad. Reid Hall will host the Summer Session in Paris.

If you're interested in art, art history, music or the French language, you'll find the Summer Session in Paris especially enriching. University of Delaware faculty directors will introduce you to Paris' artistic and musical history, supplementing lectures with first-rate musical performances and excursions to some of the region's best-known attractions. Typically included is a weekend excursion to Normandy or the Loire Valley. And because you'll be living in Paris, you'll also have the chance to explore many of the city's most beautiful sights on your own.

Students live in pairs in private homes for the duration of the session. Bedding and linens are provided, as well as breakfast daily and five dinners per week.
