Program Details

The St. Lawrence University Program in France is based in Rouen, a city of 125,000 people, 75 miles northwest of Paris. Rouen is an industrial and commercial center with historical and cultural importance. The city of Corneille and Flaubert, of Joan of Arc and William the Conqueror, the center of Rouen is often referred to as the ville musée because of the abundance of major medieval structures.

The University of Rouen, located in Mont Saint-Aignan - a suburb of Rouen - is a modern university with about 30,000 students. The St. Lawrence Program uses classrooms and offices in buildings at the Faculté des Lettres, and there are opportunities to socialize with French students; however, French students do not take program classes offered to the fall and spring semester students. Year-long students do directly enroll in University courses during their second semester.
