• Recommended to take at least one French 300-level courses before departure.
• All students will be required to meet with Prof. Margaret Sinclair in order to assess their language skills prior to application.
• When choosing a world-class institution, careful academic counseling and planning is essential to successful integration into non-American settings.

A high degree of independence and initiative are also qualifications for an exchange program, which often offers less structure and on-site support than other types of programs.
• All participants in programs sponsored by the Office of International Program Development must purchase health insurance coverage from HTH Worldwide. For more details, click here.

Students on this exchange combine intensive course-work with research. A European scientific, technological and medical university, ULP is known for the quality and wide diversity of its courses, for the excellence of its research, and for its dynamic policy of openness to its environment.
