Founded in 1958, the Institute for American Universities (IAU) is one of the oldest and largest international education programs in Europe. At IAU’s school of humanities and social sciences, students from all majors may take courses and earn between 12-18 credit hours per semester. Courses are taught in both English and French. No previous knowledge of French is required; however, all students are required to take at least one French course. All courses are taught by French faculty of local universities and by adjunct faculty from the U.K. and U.S. In partnership with IAU, the neighboring French university, the Universite d’Aix-Marseille I, provides additional courses and French language enrichment opportunities. The Institute for American Universities is located in the Provence region of France on the Mediterranean coast. Aix-en-Provence is one of the major university, legal and cultural centers of France with easy access to Paris, Geneva, London and other major European cities. Students can study there in the fall, spring and summer semesters as well as for the entire academic year.
