They are wellprepared intellectually and linguistically and seek an in-depth experience as well as a high-quality academic program during their semester, year, or summer in Paris. Academic and Personal Support In the unique multicultural background of Paris, the CUPA program approaches studying abroad as an on-going and evolving immersion process requiring active commitment from motivated students. The experience is enhanced by CUPA's personalized methodology and language mentoring and by the extensive academic, cultural and personal resources provided to its students. A mutually demanding and rewarding relationship exists between CUPA and its participants, based on interaction, dedication, and individual advising, and common values of respect, responsibility, and independence. A language pledge is signed by all participants for the duration of the program, requiring them to speak only in French at CUPA, during all program-sponsored activities, and in their homestays. Students can choose to study in Paris for a semester or the entire academic year, or may opt for the six-week-long summer program. CUPA Students From the first steps of selection to the end of their stay in Paris, CUPA students are provided with resources and guidance and receive ongoing mentoring and support in keeping with their specific objectives. This support helps to construct a coherent academic project and create the most fulfilling linguistic, cultural and personal experience possible. While the staff is always available should a question or problem arise, CUPA students are free to choose their own level of independence as all program-sponsored activities and in-house courses are optional. The program provides extensive opportunities for individualized linguistic support and cultural discovery, and encourages and facilitates the pursuit of each student’s interests and personal goals. The CUPA staff has considerable experience dealing with difficulties that may arise. Because of the intimate size of the program and its high staff/ student ratio, the CUPA team is able to get to know each student individually, and is always available to help work out academic and personal issues. Making Further Progress as an Advanced Student The exceptional motivation and intellectual curiosity of CUPA students have inspired the program to develop the French Language and Methodology division. Following an initial assessment of their strengths, background and relationship with the French language, students are invited to continue to work individually with language and methodology professors to refine their skills. Even the most advanced students of French have the opportunity to continue to progress in the language and to reinforce the academic skills they are perfecting within the immersion setting. Students are thus stimulated to take their analytical skills a step further, in order to gain more perspective on their learning experience as active participants within both the French academic environment and the French culture. The CUPA program's high standards are consistent with the outstanding caliber and potential of its student body. Applicants are selected according 8 9 CUPA CUPA _ Year and Semester Programs An Individualized Approach to Academics With ongoing academic advising and support, students are directly matriculated in Parisian Universities, certain Grandes Écoles and specialized institutes, and may also choose from a variety of optional in-house courses. They select from the extensive course offerings available at institutions listed on pages 26-33, and may also engage in independent study projects, if approved by their home university, or develop a more specialized program of study (see “Research and special curricular programs” p.12). Academic advising takes into account the student’s level of fluency, academic background, special interests, and strengths. Students generally take four courses per semester, each carrying a credit recommendation for a full semester. In order to facilitate course selection, offerings are organized into bulletins and supplemented with descriptions and evaluations of courses taken by previous CUPA students. Sample curricula of former students can be found on page 14. Final course selection takes place during Orientation. A Solid Orientation Program "The Methodology course was immensely important for me in that it illuminated the differences between the American and French University systems, and enumerated nicely what would be expected of me as a student in my courses in Paris.". Gabriel Zinn, Reed College, Fall 2013 The Paris university system and its teaching methods are quite different from those of virtually all American colleges. The intensive Orientation session facilitates the transition from American campus life to the urban French university environment. In order to prepare students for their French academic experience, which favors a strongly research-oriented way of learning, the Orientation program provides exposure to French methodology, and insight into the French academic mindset, while giving students a head start on advancing their linguistic skills in the immersion context. Practical matters, housing, and cultural life meetings also organized during the orientation session, as well as excursions within and outside of Paris. CUPA establishes direct contact with students' professors in Paris to ensure that the assigned coursework will justify the credits recommended for transfer. An academic contract determining the workload in detail is signed by both the student and the professor at the start of the semester. As French professors tend to expect a high level of academic autonomy, CUPA students implement a study project for each of their university courses, in the form of a self-designed syllabus detailing their research and coursework for the semester. The contract and study project ensure a sufficient amount of structure for each course. Grades are recorded on students’ transcripts exactly as they appear on the evaluation forms completed by professors. While CUPA assures that coursework is sufficient to justify the transfer of credits, each student is responsible for knowing the transfer policy of the home university. A School of Record transcript is available upon request. 10 11 CUPA CUPA _ CUPA Summer Curriculum Students take 2 courses carrying 60 contact hours each (ie 2 full semester credit-bearing courses). Language Courses Advanced French Language: Grammar, Composition and Conversation For students with 4 semesters of college French (or equivalent), wishing to improve oral and written fluency. To prepare students for more advanced language courses at their home universities, particular emphasis is placed on written proficiency. Cours de Perfectionnement Highly advanced French language course for students with at least 5 semesters of college French (or equivalent), aiming to gain greater proficiency in written and oral French. In-depth discussion and extensive written work help students elaborate argumentative strategies and a more elegant and precise style in French. Content Courses offered in 2014: History of French Gastronomy: Culinary Identity and Cultural Traditions Moving chronologically from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, the course focuses on themes such as the evolution of culinary practices, culinary "space", the notion of taste, tableware and traditions. CUPA Summer is an immersion program in Paris that provides intensive work in the French language, a selection of content courses and exclusive opportunities for significant contact with the French language and culture. The program is open to undergraduate or graduate students with a good background in French and strong motivation to engage in a challenging summer program. A language pledge is signed by all participants for the duration of the program. Students are required to speak only in French at CUPA, during all program-sponsored activities, and in their homestays. Classes are held at the CUPA center next to the Luxembourg gardens, right between the Montparnasse neighborhood and the Quartier Latin. Housing Students have a private room in the home of one of CUPA’s carefully selected host families, receive breakfast daily, and share 5 evening meals per week with their hosts. 12 Paris mythique: A Cultural and Literary Journey A cultural and literary journey through Paris from the 18th century up to the present day, drawing from works by Baudelaire, Zola, Proust, Balzac, Breton, Perec... to study Paris as a metaphor for French society. Students wishing to pursue special interests (ie research, advanced fine arts, music projects) may contact CUPA to examine possibilities for a tailor-made study program suited to their needs. Extra Curricular Activities A number of activities are sponsored and organized by the program, such as: • Overnightexcursion:discoveryoftheculturalheritageofaregion • 2-3performances • GuidedvisitsofParisneighborhoods • SoiréewithFrenchstudents • Farewelldinner Find costs, dates and application materials for CUPA Summer on www.cupa.paris.edu 13 CUPA CUPA _ Research and special curricular programs Fine and Performing Arts CUPA students may pursue programs in music, fine arts, and performing arts. The program is able to enroll art history majors spending the full academic year in Paris at the legendary École du Louvre, architecture students for the full academic year at ENSAPLV-Paris La Villette, performing arts majors in intensive dance/theatre/mime classes with professionals or semi-professionals, and music majors at Parisian conservatories in addition to private instruction with renowned artists. Because these programs are highly individualized and tailored to students with very specific skills, interested students must contact the program early in the application process to discuss different options and start enrollment procedures on time. Examples of study programs tailor-made for students with a specific interest: History Major with a focus on Contemporary Social History - CUPA offers an exceptional wealth of academic choices through numerous affiliations with institutions of higher education in Paris, and encourages students with a particular interest or project to build their course selection around a specific theme or field of study in all areas, including the fine and performing arts. They receive individualized help in finding the resources needed to pursue their interests (specialized libraries, seminars, conferences...) The program also provides the necessary framework for students to engage in independent study projects, if approved by their home university.

Paris housing is expensive and while it is possible to find apartments at a reasonable cost, it can take time. Therefore, students who intend to search for apartments should arrange for their housing prior to the beginning of Orientation. Students who choose this option do not pay the CUPA housing fee and are solely responsible for housing, related costs and other commitments that may arise from their choice. Cultural Offerings All CUPA-sponsored cultural activities are included in the program fee. Students are invited to participate in: • Anovernightweekendtrip; • Afull-dayexcursionorotherfull-dayactivity; • InformalgatheringsheldatCUPAwithFrenchstudents; • VisitsandactivitieswithinParis; • Programdinners. They also receive tickets for ballet, opera and theater performances, as well as a museum pass, and the “Carte Louvre Jeunes”. Housing Options CUPA allows its students to choose between a home stay with a French family or independent living arrangements. Living with a French Family Living with a carefully selected French family is a privileged form of housing that provides students with the opportunity to establish personal relationships, use French intensively and be immersed in French culture and traditions on a daily basis. The homestay is a valuable resource allowing for true integration into a neighborhood, life in Paris, and France in general. Students electing this option complete a detailed questionnaire to assist CUPA in assuring a mutually rewarding match between the host family and student. Students receive breakfast daily and share five evening meals per week with their hosts. 20 "The spectacles were definitely my favorite, but I enjoyed all of the cultural activities offered by CUPA. I loved everything I went to - including the events with extra tickets. I just felt so lucky and so fortunate to experience the arts in a place like Paris, where art is taken so seriously".

CUPA has started the “Day in the life” project to help prospective students get a better idea of what to expect once they get settled in Paris. For more stories by current and former CUPA students, check CUPA’s website: www.cupa.paris.edu 22 "The days that I don’t have class, or the days when the weather draws me up from underground to walk to République or Buttes Chaumont, I usually start down through Belleville. Here, there is a strange mix of hip music venues, of mothers and fathers waiting for their kids to get out of school, of innumerable Chinese markets, and of the bright reds of the neon sign at the Aux Folies. When I walk through here I feel the Paris of novels and songs, where people of all types come to bars and parks to spend hours talking at night, sharing and showing what they have thought and made, making this old city not new, but alive. I have nothing to do today except explore this, my ethnomusicology workshop is tomorrow night. I force a friend to get a coffee with me, and head home to practice for a while. Eating dinner with my host parents, I relish in the fact that I am expected to partake in the life of this city, and in this discussion of one of my host parents’ younger days. As I walk to the metro to meet a friend for a drink, probably a little too far away, I relish that I am expected to take part in this greater human city and community, always in the interest of exchange and learning. Today was not a busy day, but I have grown as a musician practicing my art. This sense of engagement, whether it be the ephemeral communities built out of a shared groan coming home on the metro, or the huge lines that snake out of art exhibitions as if they were the latest Paul Walker film, or especially the sincere interest of Paris 8 students in somehow making the way we interact with the world more honest and true, is what pushed me into this growth. I keep in mind that the incredible bread, wine, and French reality TV really, really helped along the way." 23 CUPA Heidi GAY, Miranda RUTHERFORD, French Major, Bryn Mawr College, Spring 2014 Religion and Classical Civilizations Major, Oberlin College, Spring 2014 - - Littérature et cinéma - Université de Paris-Sorbonne • Littérature et édition - Université de Paris-Sorbonne • Traduction - Université de Paris-Sorbonne • Photographie : Cours débutant - Studio Vermès - "A typical day here starts off with me getting up at about 8am, where I browse the latest news clippings, glance over Facebook, and make sure I haven't missed any important emails from the night before. I make my way to the Sorbonne if I have classes that day - if not, I'll spend a few hours getting some homework done before lunch, and I usually find some reason to stop by the CUPA offices to say hi to the awesome staff. Lunch for me usually involves a ham, cheese and egg crêpe from a crêpe stand or some quiche from the closest boulangerie - they are truly a dime a dozen here in Paris. If the weather's nice out, I like to spend the afternoon roaming the streets, strolling down the Seine, or watch the day go by in a garden - as always, I have my camera handy to capture that unexpected moment. I eventually make my way home at about 7pm, where I have about half an hour to chill out before dinner with my host family. After dinner, I watch some TV, finish off some homework, then head to bed. When our host families are out on the weekends, my friends and I chill in a café before hitting up our usual Chinese hand-pulled noodle shop for dinner - not exactly French, but it's just about the best bang for your buck dinner I've found in Paris that's also easy on the wallet!" 24 CUPA Les Juifs et le judaïsme dans l'Antiquité - Université de Paris-Sorbonne • Sexualité, genre et religion dans le monde anglophone - Université de Paris 8-Saint-Denis • Archéologie du Proche-Orient ancien et du monde phénico-punique - Université de Paris-Sorbonne • Les Révolutions dans l'Europe du XIXe siècle - Université de Paris 8-Saint-Denis • Atelier Démodocos : théâtre et chœur de l'Antiquité Université de Paris-Sorbonne - "I begin a typical Monday morning in Paris by getting up at 8am in order to get ready for my 10am lecture at the Sorbonne. I eat breakfast while members of my host family pop their heads into the kitchen to say goodbye before they head out for the day. By 9:30 I'm in the Paris métro heading towards the Cluny-La Sorbonne stop, its ceiling decorated with the signatures of famous French intellectuals. From the métro, it's a quick walk to the Sorbonne and my first class of the day. I have another class in the afternoon, so I'm staying on the left bank all afternoon—which is fine by me! I wander over to CUPA, stopping by my favorite bakery on the way to get a sandwich for lunch. After I've gotten some work done there and passed some time in the Jardin du Luxembourg or on the Boulevard Saint-Michel, it's back to the Sorbonne for my afternoon class. I grab a pastry from a nearby Tunisian bakery to keep me going until my class ends at 5pm. After class is over, I head back home to finish up whatever work I didn't finish in the afternoon or chat with my host family until dinnertime. After dinner, it's time to relax, maybe by watching TV with my host family (Star Wars is twice as entertaining when dubbed into French). However, I'm soon ready to fall into bed and get some sleep before another busy day in Paris!" 25 CUPA CUPA _ Featured CUPA Alumni... With its community of outstanding students and scholars, CUPA strives to develop networks and create numerous opportunities among its alumni. CUPA proudly counts among its alumni several Fulbright and Rhodes scholars, many members of academia, international policy officers, as well as distinguished musicians and artists. Rujana Pavlic, Political Science Major, Reed College '05, CUPA Year 2002-2003 "During my time at CUPA, I was a Political Science major from Reed College, but most of the courses I took in Paris were in art history. I had the rare privilege of getting a degree in one area of my academic passion, but devoting a full year to another, and never having to regret studying 'the more useful' subject. What better place than Paris to immerse yourself in art? CUPA allowed me to tailor my curriculum from as many prestigious Parisian universities as I wished to. Not even French students can take both Renaissance art and Egyptology at the Sorbonne, geo-strategy at Sciences-Po and 19th century French literature at Paris 3. Not to mention the prestigious professors from the Louvre who made me understand the revolution in painting in the 19th century and showed me the birth of abstract art, which fueled more political movements in the world than most of us are aware of. Add to that my enthusiasm for ballet and outings to some of the finest museums and theaters in the world — I can't imagine a better atmosphere for my year of study abroad. Back at Reed, I researched the effects of the two World Wars on art, and art's influence on international affairs. I did a master's in international law and found myself working as a foreign affairs journalist and editor in Croatia, which is where I'm from. I now work for the European Parliament in Brussels, in the Legislative Coordination Unit of the Directorate-General for Internal Policies of the EU. Choosing to study abroad, both in the US and France, was the best decision of my education process, and I can't imagine my work in international affairs without that kind of an 'éducation sentimentale'. Paris is still one of my fondest episodes, in many ways thanks to CUPA and its unique approach to the city's academic riches." 26 Katherine Fackler, French & African Studies Major, Georgetown University ’10, CUPA Spring 2009 "My semester at CUPA in Paris affected my path beyond college and opened my eyes to the possibility of an international life. I found that I loved numerous aspects of studying and living abroad — immersing myself in a different culture, exploring a new city to the point of making it feel like "home", meeting people from all over the world, and of course developing a greater level of proficiency in a foreign language. As a French major with a certificate in African Studies, people often asked me what I planned to do after graduation. "What can you do with French? Teach?" Studying in Paris made me realize what a practical skill proficiency in another language is, and the multitude of opportunities that it brings you. After my BA, I received a fellowship with Princeton in Africa and moved to Benin, in francophone West Africa, where I worked as the Pipeline and Reports Officer for the UN World Food Programme for one year, producing documents in French and English on a daily basis. I got the fellowship because of my dual language proficiency and was effective in my job in large part for this reason. My French language skills also enabled me to more fully immerse myself in what almost felt like a different world, because I could easily communicate with those around me. After Benin, I continued as a consultant for WFP, first in Côte d'Ivoire and then in Mauritania — both countries in which French is the most widely spoken Western language. I currently work as the Head of Information and Communications for the European Union in Côte d'Ivoire. My jobs have allowed me to meet and establish friendships with people from all over the world. These opportunities and the amazing experiences I have had during this period would not have been possible without the level of proficiency in French I acquired in college, to which my semester at CUPA greatly contributed. It has made me feel much more a part of our increasingly connected world and part of a vibrant international community! Update: Katherine has been accepted into the MBA/MA Lauder Program at Wharton.

From my incredibly open, interesting, welcoming host family, to classes that have fundamentally changed my outlook, to the support and community that CUPA provided, I feel enriched. I look forward to coming back to France." Matthew Marchand, Oberlin College and Conservatory, Fall 2013 Host Family Housing For students who choose a CUPA home stay, the housing fee covers room and board, breakfast daily and 5 dinners per week. Calendar and Prices Program fee Program fee covers tuition, full support services, elaboration of a tailormade program, fees at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and other specialized libraries, private instruction and studio courses for fine and performing arts majors.

You're only able to really understand the environment you come from when you look at it from an outside perspective, and being in a different system has taught me much about both systems." Mary Buswell, Carleton College, Fall 2013 41 CUPA CUPA _ Eligibility & Admission Admission Applications are considered for acceptance as they are received.
