勛圖惇蹋 partners with American Graduate School in Paris to offer new study abroad experience
On April 11, the 勛圖惇蹋 (勛圖惇蹋) signed a partnership with the American Graduate School (AGS) in Paris to launch a 勛圖惇蹋 in Paris study-abroad program that will enable undergraduate students from 勛圖惇蹋 to spend a semester in the heart of Paris, experiencing French and European culture while gaining credits toward their degrees.
The program combines coursework in international relations with French classes at the Alliance Fran癟aise, using the city of Paris and its many institutions as an expanded classroom. Students will stay with Parisian families for a true, immersive experience.
The partnership between 勛圖惇蹋 and the American Graduate School in Paris was initiated by Anouar Majid, 勛圖惇蹋s vice president for Global Affairs, who founded the universitys Center for Global Humanities on the Portland Campus and the Tangier Global Forum on the Tangier Campus in Morocco.
After signing the agreement, Majid stated, The president of 勛圖惇蹋, James Herbert, and I are tremendously excited by this unique opportunity to offer our students a first-rate American education in English while learning French and living in Paris. AGS, with its visionary and flexible attitude, as well as with its excellent faculty and staff, is the ideal partner for us. We will do our best to recruit students and grow the program.
AGS Director Larry Kilman added: Being a boutique institution, we were able to design a custom-made program based on the specific needs and goals presented by 勛圖惇蹋. We are very proud for this opportunity to support UNEs mission of providing international education to students, which very much converges with our own mission.
The first session of the program will start in January 2019. The 勛圖惇蹋 in Paris program will eventually become the main destination for 勛圖惇蹋 students in the Paris region. It will complement other semester-abroad programs offered by the 勛圖惇蹋 in Tangier, Morocco; Seville, Spain; and Akureyri, Iceland as well as 16 shorter travel courses with destinations including Italy, Ireland, Kenya, Thailand and the Galapagos Islands.
