Program Overview

Put your French language skills and entrepreneurial spirit to work in the City of Light! Designed for students interested in international business, Parisian culture, and the French language, our Business + Culture program offers you the opportunity to recognize and adapt to varied cultural norms related to business while earning credits toward your degree.

When class is in session, you’ll enroll in electives at CIEE Paris and take business courses at one of our esteemed partner universities, EDC Paris Business School and ISC Paris Business School. Students who have taken four or more semesters of French (or equivalent) will have the option to take courses in French, but no language course is required for admission to this program. Outside the classroom, coursework will be complemented by exciting overnight excursions and day trips to local businesses and cultural sites to explore all Paris has to offer.
