Study and Work in Paris: 7 months total (semester + summer internship)
AMC, FBM and ITM students have the opportunity to do a semester abroad plus a two-month summer internship when abroad in Paris (all in English). They must study at the American Business School of Paris (ABS) for the Spring semester prior to doing the internship over the summer in order to participate in this Study & Work Abroad program.
Students earn 6 US credits, typically major-area electives (MAE). It is an cost-effective option all around (since there is not an additional program fee), but it is particularly affordable for out-of-state students since the tuition is ABS tuition.
