CUPA

OUR PROGRAM With over 50 years of experience as an independent study-abroad program in Paris, CUPA has a long tradition in international education. While we pride ourselves on this solid background, the true strength of our program is our constant desire to innovate and adapt our offerings to the evolving needs of our students. When you choose CUPA, you are choosing a program that recognizes that each participant has a unique point of view. Some of our students thrive from being highly independent, while others prefer a structured approach to new experiences. We understand these differences and provide our students with the level of freedom that best suits them. What makes this highly individualized approach possible is that despite the diversity of our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences, they, along with CUPA, are committed to academic excellence and the lifelong pursuit of learning.

CUPA

Our Students

Our Expertise

CUPA's high standards are consistent with the outstanding caliber and potential of its student body. Applicants are selected according to their individual profiles and French language skills, and form a community of diverse, talented and motivated individuals. They are wellprepared intellectually and linguistically and seek an in-depth experience as well as a high-quality academic program during their semester, year, or summer in Paris.

From the moment they apply, CUPA students are provided with a variety of resources that allow them to take full advantage of their time abroad. Thanks to ongoing mentoring and support from our staff, students are able to construct a coherent academic project and create the most fulfilling linguistic, cultural and personal experience possible. The extensive opportunities made available through CUPA, including but not limited to individualized linguistic support, cultural activities, and methodology training, facilitate the pursuit of each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests and personal goals. CUPA students are free to choose their own level of independence as all Program-sponsored activities and in-house courses are optional. The CUPA staff has considerable experience dealing with difficulties that may arise. Because of the intimate size of the Program and its high staff-to-student ratio, the CUPA team gets to know each student individually and is always available to help with academic and personal issues.

CUPA

THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS Language immersion is at the heart of our mission. We believe that it is the key to fully experiencing another culture and understanding its nuances. As a CUPA student, you are required to speak French at all times, be it during class, during a CUPA-sponsored activity, with friends or in a homestay. Our long-time expertise has also shown that to perfect a foreign language one-on-one learning is the gold standard. To this end, we have designed our French Language Center and methodology training to provide students with language instruction that takes into account each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests, both academically and personally. It is thanks to this holistic approach that our students are able to transition seamlessly between a philosophical debate with a French peer and an informal conversation with their host family.

CUPA

Taking Advantage of our French Language Center Even for advanced learners of French, the path to fluency can feel daunting. CUPA’s French Language Center makes that process compelling and engaging by providing students with the tools to take ownership of their progress. Building self-confidence is the key to CUPA’s approach and the French Language team encourages students to embrace the challenges of the immersion environment. By teaching students how to set and achieve specific goals, we empower them to become masters of their success. To us, learning French should reflect a student's personal interests. Instead of just focusing on grammar and syntax the French Language Center allows students to hone their skills through real-world projects. Here are just a few examples : • Creative writing: Individual writing exercises or projects, with extensive revising and refining in order to arrive at the “perfect” text. Depending on the specific project (for example, creation of a manga, short stories, Oulipian constrained writing exercises…), several short narratives or a single longer text are composed over the course of the semester.

• Political discourse: A weekly press review or a political speech drafted then delivered on a given theme, in order to work in depth on grammar and oral skills, while analyzing the rhetoric of French political discourse. • Public health: Weekly analysis of French press, scholarly articles and/ or videos dealing with public health, in order to build upon field-specific vocabulary, work on grammar and aural skills and comparison of the semantics of French vs. American discourse on Public Health.

Both methodology and French language support are offered during Orientation and throughout the semester.

French Methodology Training French methodology training is also part of the language support program. Because the French educational system is very different from what American students are used to, the intensive pre-session thoroughly prepares them for the expectations of university professors and allows them to assimilate a more research-based approach to coursework. The methodology training thus encourages students to take their analytical skills a step further and gain more perspective on their learning experience as active participants within the French academic environment.

CUPA

YEAR AND SEMESTER PROGRAMS A Solid Orientation Program The intensive Orientation session facilitates the transition from American campus life to the urban French university environment. In order to prepare students for their French academic experience, which favors a strongly research-oriented way of learning, the Orientation program provides an introduction to French methodology, and insight into the French academic mindset, while giving students a head start on advancing their linguistic skills in the immersion context. Practical matters, housing, safety and cultural life meetings are also organized during the Orientation session, as well as excursions within and outside of Paris.

CUPA

An Individualized Approach to Academics CUPA students have the freedom to curate their curricula from an extensive body of course offerings available at our many partner institutions. With ongoing academic advising and support, students are directly matriculated in Parisian Universities, certain Grandes Écoles and Institutes, and may also take optional inhouse courses. They may also engage in independent study projects, if approved by their home university, or develop a more specialized program of study.

Aware of the differences between American and French academic institutions, both in terms of methodology and administration, CUPA serves as an important liaison between students and their professors in Paris. During every step of the academic process–from selecting courses to implementing a study project to obtaining final credit approval–CUPA works closely with students to ensure a rich intellectual experience that is in keeping with their home university’s requirements. Advising takes into account the student’s level of fluency, academic background, special interests, and strengths. Students generally take four courses per semester, each carrying a credit recommendation for a full semester. While CUPA assures that coursework is sufficient to justify the transfer of credits, students are responsible for knowing the transfer policy of their home university.

CUPA

RESEARCH AND SPECIAL CURRICULAR PROGRAMS CUPA offers an exceptional wealth of academic choices through numerous affiliations with institutions of higher education in Paris and encourages students with a particular interest or project to build their course selection around a specific theme or field of study in all areas, including the fine and performing arts. They receive individualized help in finding the resources needed to pursue their interests (specialized libraries, seminars, conferences...) The Program also provides the necessary framework for students to engage in independent study projects, if approved by their home university.

CUPA

Fine and Performing Arts CUPA students may pursue programs in music, fine arts, and performing arts. The Program is able to enroll art history majors spending the full academic year in Paris at the legendary École du Louvre, architecture students for the full academic year at ENSAPLV, performing arts majors in intensive dance/theatre/mime classes with professionals or semi-professionals, and music majors can receive private instruction with renowned artists and conservatory professors. Because these programs are highly individualized and tailored to students with very specific skills, interested students must contact the Program early in the application process to discuss different options and start enrollment procedures. Examples of study programs tailor-made for students with a specific interest:

HOUSING & STUDENT LIFE IN PARIS Housing Options CUPA allows its students to choose between a home stay with a French family or independent living arrangements. Some home universities may, however, require that their students do a homestay.

Living with a French Family Living with a carefully selected French family is a privileged form of housing that provides students with the opportunity to establish personal relationships, use French intensively and be immersed in French culture and traditions on a daily basis. The homestay is a valuable resource allowing for true integration

CUPA

into a neighborhood, life in Paris, and the French culture in general. Students electing this option complete a detailed questionnaire to assist CUPA in assuring a mutually rewarding match between the host family and the student. Students receive breakfast daily and share five evening meals per week with their hosts.

Living Independently The CUPA staff provides advice to students who prefer to make their own living arrangements. Paris housing is expensive and while it is possible to find apartments at a reasonable cost, it can take time. Therefore, students who intend to search for apartments should arrange for their housing prior to the beginning of Orientation. Students who choose this option do not pay the CUPA housing fee and are solely responsible for housing, related costs and other commitments that may arise from their choice.

Cultural Offerings CUPA students have access to a wealth of cultural activies during their time abroad. Thanks to these extracurricular opportunities, students get to explore another facet of Paris and of France. All CUPA-sponsored cultural activities are included in the Program fee. Students are invited to participate in: • An overnight weekend trip allowing CUPA students to discover different regions of France (e.g. Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Alsace, Provence); • A full-day excursion or other full-day activity (e.g. Giverny, Fontainbleau); • Informal gatherings held at CUPA with French students (e.g. Welcome party, game night); • Visits and activities within Paris (e.g. Walking tours, gastronomical study breaks, pétanque outings); • Tickets for performances (e.g. Ballet, opera, theater); • Conferences held at CUPA on important societal issues (e.g. “France: terre d'asile ? Internement administratif et traitement des réfugiés”, “The United States and Iran – Rapprochement or Back to the Future? A Diplomat’s Perspective”); • Museum pass and “Carte Louvre Jeunes”; • Program dinners.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF…

Claire WORSEY, Music Major, Bard College, Year 2015-2016 Monday morning, my day starts off at 9 a.m. with French painting of the 19th century at CUPA. If I wake up early enough, I like to walk from my host family’s apartment in the 15th arrondissement to CUPA because the morning bustle in the streets always puts me in a good mood and I get to skip the inevitably crowded metro. With my French horn on my back, there have been more than a few near misses of an innocent commuter’s face! I generally carry my horn with me to class in the morning so I can stop by the municipal conservatory in the 7th arrondissement afterwards to practice. I am on better terms with my neighbors if I keep my playing time in the apartment to a minimum because I tend to make a lot of noise playing both the natural horn and the modern horn… Though my horn lesson times are never at a consistent time every week, I don’t mind because I’ve made a lot of progress with my teacher over the past few months. He’s the principal horn of the Philharmonie de Paris and the professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris, so to say the least, he’s a busy man. It’s a bit of a haul to get all the way across town to the 19th arrondissement, but la Cité de la Musique is one of my favorite spots in Paris. I couldn’t have been more surprised to find sprawling gardens, space-ship-looking concert halls, and several sheep in an enclosed pasture with a gigantic bicycle half sticking out of the ground (Yes, I promise it’s all real.) I like to walk around or pop into the museum of music when I come for lessons. Afterwards, I sometimes go for a drink at the pub across the street that is frequented by the conservatory and philharmonic musicians. This makes for an interesting crowd and inevitably one or two tables at the back piled high with instruments. Then it’s back on the metro to my host family’s house for dinner. My host mom is Iranian so dinner is usually full of rice and vegetables. Dinner is colorful with everyone’s chatter, then after a shower and some homework I’m ready to go to bed.

CUPA

Sarah QADIR, French Major, Georgetown University, Spring 2016 Although my life in Paris varies greatly depending on the day, I often wake up at 9:30 to make my 11 a.m. classes at the Sorbonne. I scarf down some cereal, then leave my studio in the 11th arrondissement, heading towards class. I’ve been trying to explore the French music scene so I slip on my headphones in the metro and listen to two of my favorites, Kendji Girac and Indila. After class, I’m hungry again so I go to Julien’s, my favorite boulangerie across the street from CUPA. I order my favorite, un italien, and say hi to whoever is at CUPA. If I have another class that day, I’ll try to finish up any last minute assignments, or else I’ll head towards a park, usually Buttes de Chaumont or le Jardin du Luxembourg. Next, it’s back to la Sorbonne for my second course, either Modern Greek or Francophonie. Afterwards, I stay after and chat with my friends from class as we walk to the metro. Before going home, I stop by Place de la République, where there is always something exciting going on, whether that is a protest, a market, or even a concert. At night, I chat with my host family over dinner. My host mom likes to cook with Moroccan spices, so dinner is always flavorful and delicious. We talk about our respective days, and my host dad, an actor, teaches me how to say French phrases with expression. After we finish eating, if I’m not too tired I go out for a drink with friends and explore the Paris nightlife. Otherwise, I head off to bed, excited and hopeful for the next day’s adventures.

FEATURED CUPA ALUMNI

With its community of outstanding students and scholars, CUPA strives to develop networks and create numerous opportunities among its alumni. CUPA proudly counts among its alumni several Fulbright and Rhodes scholars, many members of academia, international policy officers, as well as distinguished musicians and artists.

Eric TINKERHESS, Music Major, Oberlin College and Conservatory ‘13, CUPA Fall 2011 As an undergraduate cello major at the Oberlin Conservatory, I spent the fall semester of my junior year studying in Paris at CUPA. I had been taking French classes for several years and wanted an immersion experience to learn more rapidly. Plus, I was passionate about French baroque music and had just started to play the viola da gamba, which has an especially rich history in Paris. As a student at CUPA, I lived with a French family and took cello lessons at the Paris Conservatory (CNSM), as well as viola da gamba lessons with a number of different teachers. It was a wonderful experience which laid the groundwork for my post-undergraduate plans. After graduating from Oberlin, I returned to Paris and completed a master’s degree in viola da gamba performance at the Paris Conservatory (CNSM). Having taken lessons with the gamba professor as a student at CUPA greatly inspired me and I was happy to return and continue working with him. The cello professor with whom I studied while at CUPA was also a great influence and has since invited me to perform my original works for cello and piano at the Centre de Musique de Chambre de Paris. Furthermore, after a semester at CUPA I was more or less fluent in French and familiar with the city, which greatly facilitated my return as a graduate student. I am currently pursuing a second master’s degree in musicology at the Sorbonne, researching the impact of French baroque poetry on the French viola da gamba. At the same time, I have a busy performing schedule with concerts all over France and Europe. This would not have been possible without the generous team at CUPA, whose dedication and flexibility enable students to truly create their own Parisian experience.

CUPA

Jessica MYERS, Architecture/Urbanism Major, Princeton University â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13, CUPA Spring 2012 When I entered college I knew, based on my experiences in France as a teenager and having had some very encouraging French teachers and professors, that I wanted to study architecture and urbanism in Paris. The real question was finding the right program. Having traveled to Paris before, I wanted my study abroad semester to break with the contained exchange program experience. I wanted to discover for myself the joys and frustrations of an everyday life in the city while I was studying. CUPA was everything that I was looking for; a program that offers a great deal of support but also steps back to allow students the freedom to discover the city independently. Through CUPA I was able to split my time between architecture classes at ENSAPLV and urban sociology classes at EHESS. At the same time I was translating poetry for a cabaret in Belleville, washing dishes at a restaurant outside of the Louvre, doing odd jobs for an artist in Montparnasse and eventually interning as an assistant archivist at the Pompidou, an internship that is exclusive to CUPA. Looking back, as an undergraduate I needed that full semester to understand a more holistic view of an educational experience. On American campuses it is often encouraged that students fully integrate with campus life from classes to student groups to socializing but that never felt very fulfilling to me. My semester at CUPA showed me ways to balance classes with a life that went beyond the university. This time also led me to find new ways to integrate my interests in writing, design, architecture, and urbanism. It helped me find work at an architecture firm based in New York and Paris following my undergraduate studies. These experiences are still highly influential to my current work in podcasting, animation, art criticism, and critical cartography. As it turns out, my graduate work in urban planning brings me back again to study Paris and the greater Ă&#x17D;le-de-France region with fresh eyes.

CUPA

FRENCH UNIVERSITIES & INSTITUTES CUPA has long-standing partnerships with many of Paris’ most prestigious academic institutions. As a language immersion program, we believe that it is essential for our students to have an authentic French experience by facilitating their matriculation with these institutions. Under our guidance and in keeping with their homeuniversity requirements, students have the freedom to curate their curriculum by choosing their courses from a variety of institutions and academic departments.

A language pledge is signed by all participants for the duration of the Program. Students are required to speak only in French at CUPA, during all Program-sponsored activities, and in their homestays. Classes are held at the CUPA center next to the Luxembourg gardens, right between the Montparnasse neighborhood and the Quartier Latin.

Curriculum Students take 2 courses carrying 60 contact hours each (i.e. 2 full semester credit-bearing courses). Language Courses Advanced French Language : Grammar, Composition and Conversation For students with 4 semesters of college French (or equivalent), wishing to improve oral and written fluency. To prepare students for more advanced language courses at their home universities, particular emphasis is placed on written proficiency. Perspectives on Contemporary French Society Highly advanced French language course for students with at least 5 semesters of college French (or equivalent), aiming to gain greater proficiency in written and oral French. Indepth discussion and extensive written work help students elaborate argumentative strategies and a more elegant and precise style in French.

Content Courses offered in 2015 Paris 1850-1939 : the Birth of Modern Art An exploration of the rise of Modern Art in its very city of birth. Students will discuss and analyze major works of Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism, both in class and in Parisian museums (Musée d’Orsay, Musée Picasso, Pompidou…). Paris mythique: A Cultural and Literary Journey A cultural and literary journey through Paris from the 18th century up to the present day, drawing from works by Baudelaire, Zola, Proust, Balzac, Breton, Perec... to study Paris as a metaphor for French society.

Students wishing to pursue special interests (i.e. research, advanced fine arts, music projects) may contact CUPA to examine possibilities for a tailor-made study program suited to their needs.

Housing Students have a private room in the home of one of CUPA’s carefully selected host families, receive breakfast daily, and share 5 evening meals per week with their hosts.

Extracurricular Activities As part of the summer program, students are encouraged to enrich their academic experience by exploring French culture outside of the classroom thanks to a variety of extracurricular activities sponsored and organized by CUPA. These activites include: • Overnight excursion: discovery of the cultural heritage of a region; • 2-3 performances (e.g. concert, theater, ballet…); • Guided visits of Paris neighborhoods; • Soirée with French students; • Farewell dinner.

Eligibility

Admission

Semester and year students should should be undergraduates in good standing at an American college or university, and maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. They must have a good command of both written and oral French and have successfully completed the equivalent of at least five semesters of college-level French with a grade of B+ or above. Exceptions to these requirements may be granted to particularly motivated students. Students should carefully consider the challenges involved in taking direct matriculation courses, and are strongly encouraged to study French during the semester prior to the anticipated semester or year abroad. Find eligibilty information for CUPA Summer on www.cupa.paris.edu

Applications are considered for acceptance as they are received. Because the CUPA Program is selective and accepts a limited number of students, applying early is highly recommended, especially for the spring semester. Late applications will be considered if space allows.

Application Deadlines Applications must be completed and submitted by March 15 for full-year or fall-semester students, October 15 for the spring semester and April 15 for CUPA Summer. Find application materials and more information on deadlines on www.cupa.paris.edu

Student Visa and Travel Arrangements Upon acceptance, students receive guidelines on how to apply for their visa and how to register with Campus France (the French student visa services). Students must obtain their student visa from a French consulate outside France before their departure and are responsible for understanding the French regulations that apply to them. Non-US citizens must inquire into the visa requirements that apply to their country.

Insurance Students must have medical insurance coverage during their stay in France, proof of which should be sent to the Program prior to or upon arrival in Paris. Personal liability insurance is obligatory in France and is included in CUPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program fee.
