Study Abroad

There are many opportunities for students to study in France or in Francophone countries. Location (France, Canada, Morocco) as well as duration of stay (one week to one year) varies according to program. We encourage all of our undergraduates to plan to study abroad during the course of their program at Purdue.

Undergraduates have three options:

a) Faculty taught courses.  Professor Jessica Sturm offers FR 380, French Food Culture, with spring break study abroad to l'Ecole des Trois Ponts in Roanne, France, during even Spring semesters.  During odd Spring semesters, Professor Sturm, along with Professor Jen William of Department of German and Russian, will offer FR 380/GER 498 Sport and Spectacle in Europe, with a spring break study abroad in Berlin and Paris. Please contact Professor Sturm (jsturm@purdue.edu) for more details.
