La Mission Interuniversitaire de Coordination des Echanges Franco-Americains (MICEFA)

Is this the program for me?

A high level of French language ability is required (completion of French 10 or the equivalent).
Students have the option to enroll in one of fifteen French universities in and around Paris. MICEFA participants should have a high level of initiative and independence to navigate successfully enrollment in the French educational system.
Students may find courses of study in a wide array of fields in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
Enrollment is available for the academic year, fall or spring semester.

Students become immersed in the French university system by studying alongside other international and French students.
Students are not limited to enrollment in one university or one department, but may enroll in fifteen branches of the University of Paris including the famous Sorbonne, and University of Evry, a new institution specializing in technical and professional studies.
MICEFA offers a three-week orientation program each semester to prepare students for life in Paris and provide additional language training. Students may also enroll in special MICEFA courses throughout the semester to assist students in their understanding of the French language and culture.
GW has an exchange agreement with MICEFA that brings students from Paris to the GW campus for a semester or year of study. GW students have the opportunity to meet and study with undergraduates from French institutions in Washington prior to studying abroad.
