Customize your study abroad experience. Our Open Campus program at the new CIEE Global Institute – Paris offers maximum flexibility to engage and experience Paris in your own way. Match the academic experience with your interests, aspirations, and degree requirements: Pair two or three six-week blocks for your perfect amount of intensive study and cultural engagement, select your academic track from five diverse options, then choose your electives from our wide range of courses and subject areas.

Choose from the following academic tracks:
  • Business
  • Communications, Journalism, and New Media
  • Health Sciences
  • International Relations and Political Science
  • Literature and Culture

Enhance your academic program with:
  • Internships
  • Directed Independent Research
  • Service-Learning Projects

The block system provides maximum flexibility for U.S. students, including students from schools that operate on quarter or trimester systems. While most students will choose three consecutive blocks for a total of 18 weeks of study, students can opt for two consecutive blocks for a total of 12 weeks of study. In the later case, students complete four courses for a recommended 12 semester / 18 quarter hours.

This approach allows CIEE Paris Open Campus students to select all of their courses from the wide range of CIEE offerings or choose a combination of CIEE courses and courses at one of our Paris partner-universities, where they can learn alongside French students.
