Summer Study Abroad
Spending a summer immersed in French language study is the best way to perfect your accent, improve your vocabulary, practice your grammar, absorb the culture, and keep your mind sharp for the beginning of the Fall school semester. Not only do you get to enjoy your summer in a beautiful location mingling with wonderfully hospitable Francophones, but you will also earn valuable course credit and impress your fellow UMD students with your newly acquired skills.
In order for your French summer experience to count for UMD class credit, students should discuss their study abroad plans with a member of the French faculty. They must pick up the study abroad packet from the Advising Center, or download it from the Advising Center Website.

Students can choose to travel abroad or take any number of summer immersion programs, right here in the USA.
Please do your own careful research of the respective summer schools, as The Boivin Center assumes no responsibility for quality of the these programs.
