Description

The Paris Internship Program offers a semester of study and work in the hub of French and European business and culture. The program combines an internship with intensive French-language study and liberal arts courses. French faculty from local universities teach courses on contemporary France that are specifically designed for students in the Boston University program.

After an orientation period, students enroll in three courses and work with the internship coordinators to determine their internship placement. Depending on their linguistic proficiency, students are placed into one of two tracks.

During the second half of the semester, students participate in local professional life through faculty-supervised internships. Students serve as interns full time, Monday through Friday, while also attending small group and individual writing tutorials which monitor progress in the internship and the drafting of an extensive analytical internship report. An oral defense of the report completes the semester's requirements.
