Summer Study in Paris
Dates
May 24 - June 20
Lodging
We will be housed and hold classes in a modern living, learning facility in the 14th arrondissement near the Luxembourg Gardens. Accommodations include breakfast and one other meal each day.
Courses
American Character (ENGL 0170, common curriculum course) or Americans in Paris (ENGL G355, for English credit) focuses on expatriate Americans living and writing in Paris in the twenties and thirties, including Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Malcolm Cowley, Gertrude Stein, and others. Students will study the impact Paris had on American writers and their works. This is a common curriculum course (English students may complete supplemental work for English credit).
France and the Modern Experience (FREN 0140) examines Paris as a major cultural center in Europe during the period of 1900-1950. We will study writers and artists whose work came to define "modernism," using the museums and sites of Paris as resources. This is a common curriculum course (students proficient in French may do supplemental work in French to receive credit for a French course).
Courses will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each day.
Activities:
In addition to the museum visits which are part of the course work, students will tour major historical sites of Paris such as Notre Dame and make two day trips to visit Chartres and Giverny.
Travel:
Students are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from Paris. However, there will be a designated flight which the professors will take and which will provide transportation to our facility (FIAP), and Loyola students may choose to take this flight as well.
Cost:
The program will cost $3600, plus airfare and spending money. This includes double room occupancy, breakfast, and either lunch or dinner. Also covered are two day trips (with lunch) to Chartres and to Giverny.
