Stanford in Paris

Stanford in Paris offers undergraduates the opportunity to study in France during the Autumn and Winter Quarters. Students are provided with a wide range of academic options, including course work at the Stanford Center and at the University of Paris, independent study projects, and internships. In addition, the program promotes a high degree of interaction with the local community through volunteer employment, homesteads, and internships.

Through specialized offerings at the Stanford home campus and in Paris, engineering students are encouraged to study abroad and coordinate internships through the Department to work in France.

The minimum language requirement for admission into Stanford in Paris is one year of French at the college level. Courses offered in Paris may count toward fulfillment of the requirements of the French major or minor. All students are encouraged to consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies before attending the program and after returning in order to ensure that course work and skills acquired abroad can be coordinated appropriately with their degree program.
