Deadline for the Summer 2022 Program Applications is February 21, 2022: Spend a month this summer in Vichy, France! Renowned throughout Europe for its natural hot springs and effervescent thermal baths, Vichy is located 30 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand, Norman's sister city, 2 hours from Lyon, and 3 hours from Paris. With only 40,000 residents, Vichy is a small relaxing town, but oriented towards academics with Blaise Pascal University at the center of it. The University serves its 14,000 students in over 250 programs from the campus in Vichy and others in the Auvergne region. Students from Price College will be on campus in Vichy with other French and international students. All classes are taught in English by Price College faculty, with the additional participation of professors from Blaise Pascal University. Lectures complement other program activities that include business tours, trips to other cities and areas of France(such as Paris, Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand), visits to museums, and an introduction to French culture and cuisine.
Accommodations: Students are housed in dorms, and they have a choice to live by themselves or with a roommate.
Dates: Departure from USA on May 27 - Program ends in Paris on June 25, 2022
Program size: Enrollment is limited to 30 students for this program; therefore, we encourage you to apply early since admission is on a rolling basis. It is never too late to apply; we manage waitlists for each program and we will let you know what options work best with your major/minor.
