About CUPA
to their individual profiles and French language skills, and form a
community of diverse, talented and motivated individuals. 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

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.

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.

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

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.

Housing & Student Life
in Paris
Living Independently
The CUPA staff provides advice to students who prefer to make their own
living arrangements. 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.

"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".

Studying abroad is often referred to as a life-changing experience, and
returning students always have exotic stories and amazing memories
to tell everyone, but it is hard to know what daily life will be like before
experiencing it firsthand. 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.

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

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."

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. Congratulations!

my perception, or by the incredibly hard work put in by
CUPA and my peers, I had a wonderful time. From my
incredibly open, interesting, welcoming host family, to

to the support and community that CUPA provided, I feel
enriched. I look forward to coming back to France."

"The French problématique is an interesting and
often difficult way of thinking about a problem,
and having learned that pattern of questioning will
improve my thought process when doing academic
work. 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."

Eligibility
& Admission
Admission
Applications are considered for acceptance as they are received. Because
the CUPA program is selective and accepts a limited number of students,
applying early is highly recommended, especially for the spring semester.
Late applications will be considered if space allows.
Student Visa and Travel Arrangements
Upon acceptance, students receive guidelines on how to apply for their visa
and how to register with Campus France (the French student visa services).
Students must obtain their student visa from a French consulate outside
France before their departure and are responsible for understanding the
French regulations that apply to them. Non-US citizens must inquire into
the visa requirements that apply to their country.
Insurance
Students must have medical insurance coverage during their stay in France.
Proof of insurance is required for the visa and must be furnished upon arrival
in Paris. Personal liability insurance is obligatory in France and provided by
CUPA at no additional cost to the student.
Eligibility
Students should be undergraduates in good standing at an American college
or university, and maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. They must have
a good command of both written and oral French and have successfully
completed at least the equivalent of five semesters of college-level French
with a grade of B+ or above. Exceptions to these requirements may be
granted to particularly motivated students.
Students should carefully consider the challenges involved in taking direct
matriculation courses, and are strongly encouraged to study French during
the semester prior to the anticipated semester or year abroad.

"I have perceived the CUPA staff members to be very
efficient and helpful regarding academic procedures,
flexible about appointments and deadlines,
and always willing to help me find solutions to small
problems that have come up during the semester".
