Programs

During a single semester or a full academic year, students enrolled in CUPA’s rigorous immersion program are directly matriculated in Paris’ best universities, certain Grandes Écoles and Institutes, and may also take optional in-house courses. CUPA students have the freedom to curate their curricula from an extensive body of course offerings. They may also engage in independent study projects, if approved by their home university, or develop a more specialized program of study.

CUPA offers a stimulating six-week program in Paris providing intensive work in French language, a selection of content courses, exciting co-curricular and extracurricular activities and permanent contact with the French language and culture. CUPA Summer is open to students with previous background in French. Classes are held at the CUPA center, next to the Luxembourg gardens, within walking distance to the Quartier Latin.

Offered in partnership with Paris College of Art, a NASAD accredited school of art and design, Art & Design at PCA offers students the opportunity to pursue a full-time program of art and design studies in English, supported by art history and liberal studies course offerings, tailored to fit their academic requirements and personal and artistic interests. Students can choose to attend Art & Design at PCA for a single semester or a full academic year.
