AIX-EN-PROVENCE:
American University Center of Provence
Located in Aix-en-Provence, a university city of 130,000 and along
with Arles and Avignon one of the "three capitals" of Provence,
the American University Center of Provence is a program that is
both academically rigorous and highly experiential. AUCP's highest
priorities are the fast, successful integration of American students
into local French life and the intensive and rewarding study of
French language and culture. In addition to coursework taught by
French university professors in advanced French, modern French civilization,
literature, political science, art history, and studio art, students
take a core course, called the French Practicum. This course combines
cross-cultural observation, workshops and a wide range of required
experiential activities in the community, each of which is designed
to introduce students frequently and directly to French people and
French life. All students also participate in some form of weekly
community service. Complementing the courses taught at AUCP itself,
students also attend one course alongside their French peers at
the University of Provence, giving them the opportunity to become
part of French student life. Each AUCP student is also assigned
a "linguistic exchange partner", a French student of English with
whom they meet regularly to exchange conversation. Cultural activities
include regional field trips, French cooking classes and wine tasting.
Housing is in homestays with French families, carefully selected
for their desire to make the student a part of the family. Eligibility:
Minimum GPA of 3.0. Fifth semester level in French. Recommendation
of the French Department.
