The Columbia Summer in Paris program invites you to explore all that the city of Paris has to offer during a five-week program based at Columbia's Reid Hall in Paris. On this program, you will explore both contemporary and historical issues in French and Francophone culture and go outside of the typical tourist experience to gain an insider’s view of the city. The English track does not require previous French study.
Students looking for the Accelerated Intermediate French course offered by Columbia in Paris should see the Columbia Summer Accelerated Intermediate French in Paris program page. Note that this is a separate program from Columbia Summer in Paris, so make sure to apply specifically to the Columbia Summer Accelerated Intermediate French in Paris program and indicate that program in your Yale application if that is the program you intend to do.
