• The Paris university system and its teaching methods are quite different from those of virtually all American colleges. CUPA helps students to adjust to those differences and to make use of resources enabling them to construct a highly rewarding learning and cultural experience. The program also assures that the courses students select will meet the credit requirements of the most demanding American universities.
• CUPA offers an exceptionally wide range of academic choices to its students through affiliations with numerous academic institutions in Paris. CUPA is also able to place its students in a number of special programs in the arts for music, theater, fine arts, dance, mime. The CUPA program also works to develop the framework necessary for students to engage in independent study projects, if approved by their home university.
• Students may undertake studies in the fine and performing arts as well, either on an elective basis or for their major. For advanced studies in music or theater, special programs can be implemented; students should contact the program well in advance to discuss the numerous opportunities and arrange for pre-enrollment in music/theater programs. Art majors may take a full studio program if credits are applied toward the major at the home university.
