What is Included: Participating students will be assessed the cost of the host program’s tuition, room and board. Students will not receive Alma aid (including tuition exchange benefits, where applicable) for the semester off-campus, though they will be eligible for an additional term of Alma aid if they choose to stay on campus for a 9th term. Students can use any federal and state aid for which they are eligible toward the off-campus program. In the absence of an Alma tuition charge, a Registration Fee of $500 will be assessed to help cover administrative costs associated with processes and oversight.

Language majors who are studying abroad to fulfill a language program requirement will have the option of being assessed Alma tuition and receiving Alma aid (at the level they receive for on-campus enrollment) for up to one semester off campus or the fee structure described above (including access to a 9th term of aid if it is unused due to the off-campus experience).

All program related fees other than tuition such as room, board, books, etc. that are invoiced to Alma College will also be added to the Alma College student account.

Program Description

American University Center of Provence academic program focuses upon French and Arabic language and civilization, Middle East area studies, immigration, inter-religious communication and cross-cultural mediation. On-site French courses are supplemented by a one-week program in Tunisia for fall and Morocco for spring combining lectures, visits, and guided encounters with local population.

All AUCP course work is conceived to be highly pertinent to the on-site setting. French Practicum, the mandatory core program, provides an especially strong link between academic work, direct French cultural contact, and the guided reflection on the student’s overall experience.

The program is open to non-French majors. However, all courses are taught in French, and a minimum of two years college French or equivalent is required. Students sign a binding language pledge to speak only French during their stay.

Application Requirements:
Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
