Concentrators/Minors in the History of Art

For students interested in pursuing either the concentration or the minor in the History of Art, the Paris Program offers a total of ten credit hours of art history instruction in one semester—four credit hours at the 200-level and six credit hours at the 300-level. Both of the 300-level courses taught in Paris may be used to satisfy the department's "seminar" requirement for concentrators and minors. Students should check course descriptions for further information about distribution requirements. Students looking to minor in the History of Art can complete two thirds of the required fifteen credit hours in Paris, while also fulfilling all but one of the departmental distributive requirements.

Concentrators/Minors in French

For students who wish to pursue either the concentration or the minor in French, the Paris Program offers six credit hours of French instruction at the 200- and/or 300-levels (depending on each student's background in the language). In combination with home stays and daily contact with native French speakers, intensive language training at the Institut Catholique provides students the opportunity to make genuine progress in French over the course of a semester. Since the program is Paris-based and entirely devoted to French art and culture, concentrators/minors in French will find that it provides an excellent complement to their studies in Ann Arbor. Sophomores who participate in the Paris Program may want to consider returning to France during their junior or senior years by enrolling in Michigan's programs in Grenoble or Aix-en-Provence.

For concentrators and minors in French, the "Paris-by-Site" course may be applied to their concentration/minor requirements at the 300-level.

Related Concentrations

The Michigan-In-Paris Program is open to all qualified Michigan students, regardless of their choice of concentration. Concentrators in the humanities and social sciences may find that 300-level courses taken in Paris satisfy their concentration's cognate requirements (students should always confer with a concentration advisor before departing on a foreign study program). They may also wish to pursue a History of Art or a French minor to complement their concentrations (see above).

For students in History, the "Paris-by-Site" course may be applied to their concentration/minor requirements at the 300-level.
