This program is open to all university
students
and others, and credits may be transferable to home institutions. A
cumulative
grade point average of 2.5 is required; at many institutions the
courses
are accepted in fulfillment of the language requirement. The graduate
level
courses are particularly suitable for teachers working on advanced
degrees.
All students must consult with their academic advisors before enrolling
in our program. Program costs are paid by student fees. The HOPE
Scholarship applies to this program.
Quebec City is the only fortified city in existence in North America
and is a World Heritage City. The old city is home to many
cafés, restaurants, shops, museums and other places of cultural
and historic interest. During our stay, there are two major
festivals. The Festival
d'été is a summer music festival. The Fêtes de la Nouvelle France
recalls the early days when Quebec was a French colony. Above
all, Quebec City is a French-speaking city!
Although not required to take meals with the host(s), doing so gives
students the opportunity each day to speak French and learn about life
in Quebec.
The main goal of the program is to give students a supportive
environment in which to speak French. In turn, students enrolled in the
program pledge to speak French 100% of the time! Those who do
normally make important advances in their spoken French.
