Summer Study Abroad

We offer language-intensive courses taught by Yale faculty in Paris each summer, as well as a series of options that take place beyond Paris. See below to learn more.

These courses :

  • are taught by Yale faculty and qualify for Yale College credit
  • count directly toward Yale’s language requirement
  • are eligible for International Study Award (ASA) or YSS Financial Assistance

For a current list of upcoming YSS summer courses in French, consult Yale Summer Session Programs Abroad

These programs:

  • qualify to receive general graduation credit (a limit of 2 for all summers combined)
  • may count for credit toward the French major, certificate, or language requirement at the discretion of the department
  • are eligible for the International Study Award (ISA).

French & Francophone centered courses have been offered through non-Yale programs in Senegal, Avignon, Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Switzerland, and elsewhere.
