Location DetailsAbout ParisParis offers some of the greatest sites in the world: Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, the Palace de Versailles, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower to name a few. Beautiful, small touches greet you every step of the way, from fresh baguettes and croissants at every boulangerie to the gorgeous squares and parks that line the city. The Seine’s waterways, quays, and bridges transport you to breathtaking sights including the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre Dame Cathedral. About the CIEE Global Institute – Paris and Local Partner Institutions The Global Institute – Paris is a spacious and centrally located facility. Given that the Open Campus program is designed to offer students the option to take one direct enrollment course (hybrid model) at a local host institution, CIEE will continue to take advantage of the strong relationships developed over the last several years with academic institutions such as Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, Université Paris Diderot Paris 7, IRCAM, and Collège International de Philosophie. In addition, CIEE is in the process of securing additional relationships with Université René Descartes-¨Paris 5 and the Université Paris Dauphine- Paris 9 to help support several of the Open Campus academic tracks, including Health Sciences and Business. These local host institutions are important for several key reasons. First, they will provide options for students on the Open Campus program to take one direct enrollment course with local students. Next, they will help support cultural integration through opportunities for co-curricular activities and engagement with local students. Many of the CIEE Open Campus program courses will leverage the expertise of faculty from these institutions. Finally, these institutions have local networks that can be useful for developing and supporting the CIEE Academic Projects. CIEE Global Institute – Paris CIEE Paris Open Campus courses are taught at the CIEE Global Institute – Paris. Students will be housed within or on the very close outskirts of the city of Paris with easy access to CIEE host institutions, and the CIEE center. The CIEE Global Institute-Paris is less than a minute away from the Grands Boulevards, a 10-minute walk to the Palais Royal, and a 15-minute walk to the Louvre. The center has 4 classrooms, library space, a small computer area for student use, in addition to staff offices. |

Academic Program & CoursesWhere You'll Study - CIEE Global Institute Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 The Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, also called Censier, is especially well known for its courses in cinema, theater, modern languages and literatures, and communications. The CIEE Paris center has been in partnership with Paris 3 since its birth in 1973, and this university is very open to creative collaborative projects, including developing shared classes between Paris 3 and the Center and sending the Center TOFFL students as French-language instructing interns. Housed in a single building, Paris III is located in the fifth arrondissement near the metro stop Censier-Daubenton. Université Paris Diderot Paris 7 The Université Paris Diderot – Paris 7, located on a new, large campus near the Bibliothèque Nationale and the Cinémathèque Française, offers courses in literature, languages, film, philosophy, history, sociology, psychology, economics, and almost every branch of the physical sciences. Known for its interdisciplinary approach to the study of the humanities, Paris Diderot places a strong emphasis on the connections between the arts and the sciences, and the CIEE Paris Center has been an active collaborator with its Institut des Humanités et des Sciences. IRCAM Founded in 1977 by Pierre Boulez, the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique or IRCAM is an institution devoted to research and experimentation in music composition, acoustic performance and the technological modification of sound. Promoting new works and new composers, IRCAM is also a world-renowned teaching institution, providing intensive instruction in composition to a select handful of students in composition. Located right next to the Centre Pompidou, directly in front of the mechanical fountain on Place Igor Stravinsky, the IRCAM benefits from the thriving life of the Marais district of central Paris. Collège International de Philosophie Founded in 1983 by Jacques Derrida, François Châtelet and Dominique Lecourt, the Collège International de Philosphie offers conferences, colloquia and seminars offered by leading, international thinkers in contemporary critical thought in the fields of politics, the arts, philosophy, and education. Open to the public, the College’s seminars take place at such revered institutions as Henri IV, the Sorbonne, the Maison de l’Amérique, and our own CIEE Paris study center, which hosts around one-quarter of the College’s events. Université René Descartes – Paris 5 Located near the Odéon district with other sites throughout the Left Bank of Paris, Paris 5 offers classes in the human and social sciences. With a focus on health, medicine and pharmaceutical sciences, it also offers education in sociology, mathematics, computing, and psychology. It’s satellite IUT also offers classes in business, marketing, communications, and the world of publishing. As is the case with many other Parisian universities today, Paris 5 has launched initiatives to offer more English-taught content classes to its more advanced students (Senior and First-year Master’s students). Université Paris Dauphine- Paris 9 Located in the posh 16th arrondissement of the French capital, Paris 9 is an ambitious, competitive university that focuses on providing interdisciplinary courses in such professional fields as management, business, computing, law, leadership and policy-making. With its focus on business and economy, it is starting to be seen as on the same par as other reputed private and “grandes écoles” institutions. TRANSPORTATIONYou will use public transportation to navigate the city and commute to and from the Global Institute. Paris offers a convenient and extended network of metro and buses that connect the various neighborhoods.

Below you will find information that may help you in planning for your study abroad experience. Early discussions and planning can help to support you in having a positive experience abroad. We invite you to meet with the International Coordinator for this program to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Physical ConsiderationsStudy abroad participants may find themselves walking or taking public transit abroad more frequently than they are accustomed at their home campus. Disability Accommodations AbroadIndividuals with disabilities can and do study abroad, but may find accessibility and accommodation in one of more of this program’s locations very different from the United States. For example, in France, while there are a variety of accessible forms of transportation, Paris Metro stations remain largely inaccessible to people with mobility disabilities. Students may find that sidewalks are narrow and uneven, and cobblestone streets make access difficult in some areas. LGBTQIA Students AbroadStudents of diverse sexual orientations or gender identities will find that the social climate, laws, and norms of other cultures will often differ from the U.S. If you identify as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer student - or if you are still exploring your identity - you may face unique challenges when traveling abroad. Gender Identity AbroadWhen traveling abroad, you may find different gender roles and norms than you’re used to. It’s possible that you may be treated differently or be expected to treat others differently based on your (or their) gender identity. Racial and Ethnic Minorities AbroadStudents of different ethnic and racial backgrounds may encounter unique challenges transitioning from life here in the United States to life as a student living abroad, including but not limited to access to personal care products and services. For example, in France, racism and discrimination do occur, but seem to be directed more towards immigrants from Africa or the Middle East. |
Cost InformationPartnership program participants will NOT pay ASU tuition for the courses completed abroad. Instead, participants will pay a Program Fee as a condition of participation. Partnership program participants are also responsible for paying a non-refundable $50 Application Fee, in addition to the published Program Fee. All other costs associated with participation in the program are the responsibility of the individual student. Be sure to reference the program cost sheet for information on current program fees and any additional estimated expenses. |
Funding Your Study Abroad ProgramStudying abroad is an investment in your future, which requires careful planning and management. However, the personal, academic, and professional rewards that you will gain from this experience will last a lifetime. You should carefully consider costs, budgets and financing when selecting and preparing for your experience abroad. If you have questions at any step of the process, we encourage you to reach out to your International Coordinator for guidance. Steps to Financing Your Study Abroad Program
