Summer Program

Summer at PCA

The Summer Program at Paris College of Art offers an exciting set of courses with a modern edge in the historically and artistically rich city of Paris. In these two-week long courses, taught in English, introductory through advanced level students will explore art, design, and culture.

An international faculty comprised of professional artists and designers guide students through the colorful streets and neighborhoods of Paris. Through field trips to museums, studios, boutiques, and design organizations, students take advantage of the abundant resources the city has to offer; Paris serves as both a subject matter and a source of inspiration. Studio work, lectures, and independent research projects allow students to develop new skills, refine their understanding of art and design, and create portfolio pieces for college or graduate school admissions.

Housing

In order to promote a greater sense of community for students enrolled in our summer program, communal student housing is encouraged for all.

Housing is available on a first-come, firstserved basis. Please note: direct housing reservations close by April 15 as availability is not guaranteed any longer after that date. However, you are welcome to enquire about housing availabilities after finalizing your course registration.

CREDIT & AUDIT OPTIONS

Courses are available either for credit (each two-week course is worth 2 credits) or may be audited. Participants who enroll for credit will receive a grade based on the completion of their required coursework and an official transcript, which may allow them to apply these college-level credits to current or future studies.

LEVELS

Pre-College: Must be at least 16 years old at the start of the program. Undergraduate + Young Professionals: Must be at least 19 years old or a rising second-year university student at the start of the program, or individuals who have completed bachelor level studies and/or working professionals.
