France Study Abroad Available

Truman, in partnership with IPAG Business School, offers students a unique opportunity for a semester exchange or study abroad trip in France. IPAG has two prestigious centers students can choose to attend. One is located in Paris and the other in Nice along the French Riviera. IPAG Business School is a management school with a goal of preparing its students to become future executives, managers and entrepreneurs. Students can enjoy different cultural attractions, including jazz festivals, shopping, opera, film festivals and other activities and events. The campus offers students a variety of services, including a multimedia center, language labs and an information and business center. Students may also join campus activities such as sports, clubs, cultural activities and international student
associations.

IPAG offers semester-long exchanges and summer-long study abroad programs in both locations. Most courses are taught in English, and no previous knowledge of the French language is needed. Classes offered include: international business law; advertising and promotion; strategic marketing planning; financial management; and principles of accounting. IPAG offers students the opportunity to take French language courses as well.

For the semester exchange program, students who plan on participating pay Truman tuition directly to Truman. This makes payment easy and affordable. Prices and more information for the summer study abroad program can be found here. IPAG assists students with finding shared apartments, but students are responsible for arranging their own housing and meals.

The summer session will take place May 23-June 13 with applications due May 1. The fall session will take place Sept. 2-Dec. 22 with applications due June 15.

To apply, fill out a Truman online application and send a statement of purpose, official transcripts, a copy of passport and two letters of recommendation to the study abroad office in Baldwin Hall 106.
