Program Mission
Our mission is to enable you to develop a deeper understanding
of the world and a broader perspective on your own country.
We aim to provide an academic experience that increases your
competency in the French language, while allowing you to elect
courses that fit your academic goals. If you qualify for a course
and the opportunity exists, we work with you to make it happen.
That has been our focus since 1948.

Since 1948, we have sent students to Paris for an
intensive immersion experience.
In 2010 we opened a program in Nice.

the ProgrAm
ABove the StAndArdS
We know study abroad. As a long-established program, we know the ins and outs
of France — its universities, its culture, its people. Our advisory board includes
professors and administrators from a wide selection of colleges. They meet annually
to evaluate the program and determine how to improve it year after year.
time Spent
When you spend an entire year in the program, you’re able to become fluent in
French and completely familiar with French life. A semester also provides good
language and culture saturation. If you are considering the spring semester only, you
will need excellent knowledge of the French language since you’ll be arriving at the
university mid-year. All programs begin with a two-week preliminary session.
whAt’S your mAjor?
Some students are French majors, but the majority are studying in other disciplines,
including art history, comparative literature, government, history, international
relations, the sciences and others. Our flexible program allows you to find classes
that fit your course of study. Once you successfully complete an academic year or
semester, a transcript is sent to your home college or university.
live well
Immerse yourself in French life at home, in the classroom and in your surroundings.
Most students stay in French homes where they often forge lasting relationships.
We’ll also arrange diverse cultural experiences, from French dining and wine
tastings to tours of historic sites and museums.

diStiNCtioNS
oldeSt in pAriS
Sweet Briar College Junior Year in France is the oldest
coeducational intercollegiate program in Paris. Created
in 1923 by the University of Delaware, this program has
been administered by Sweet Briar College since 1948.
true immerSion
Students are registered and take classes at various
Paris universities, at the University of Nice, and at
other institutes of higher learning and visual and
performing arts.
SpeCiAlizAtion
We only accept juniors or exceptional students
(sophomores in their second semester or seniors in
their first semester).
ChoiCe
Junior Year in France’s size enables us to offer many
more academic opportunities than smaller study
abroad programs.
univerSitieS
We have academic agreements with four Paris
universities: Paris III (Sorbonne Nouvelle), Paris IV
(Paris-Sorbonne), Paris VII (Denis Diderot) and Paris
Dauphine University and with the University of Nice.
guArAnteed fee
Our fee is not subject to fluctuations resulting from
variations in the value of the dollar.
inCluSive pACkAge
The fees include trans-Atlantic transportation (to Paris
only in fall), registration in several institutions, room
and board, group excursions, medical and personal
liability insurance, baggage handling and theatre and
museum fees related to courses. Any expenses not
included are clearly stated in our suggested budget.

ACAdemiC ProgrAm
orientAtion
The preliminary orientation session is an introduction to the French way of life.
It provides a practical knowledge of the language so you can readily use it in your
studies. Most importantly, it initiates you to academic life in France.
Orientation for students studying in Paris for the year will be held in Tours at the
Institut d’Etudes Françaises de Touraine, a unit of the Université François-Rabelais.
Tours provides a fuller introduction to the country and is a benefit of the yearlong
and fall semester program. Orientation for those attending the spring semester in
Paris and the whole year or spring semester in Nice will be held at the JYF offices
in those respective cities.
Your two-week orientation session will vary depending on your ability to read, write
and speak French. It usually includes practical training in composition, translation
and conversation. A recommendation for one unit of credit is made (equivalent to
a semester course) for those who successfully complete the intensive orientation
session for the yearlong program in Paris or Nice.
During this time, you also meet with both the resident director and associate
director to plan your academic calendar and living arrangements in Paris or Nice.
These preliminary sessions are in addition to your class time and will include
cultural experiences as well as visits to museums and historical landmarks.

SemeSter or yeAr progrAm
As you get started, all the details of your course of study are provided prior to
departure so you can discuss and confirm your program with the faculty advisor at
your home institution. We encourage you to set up individual programs that best
correspond with your interests and the requirements of your major. Don’t worry.
You’ll be able to try some courses before finalizing a schedule. Choices of where to
study include:
• Paris universities or the University of Nice
• The Institut Catholique, the Alliance française, Language institutes
(i.e., Instituto Cervantes)
• One of the many ateliers or specialized schools of music and the performing arts
• Junior Year in France, which offers several in-house courses in French
internShipS
Junior Year in France offers a limited number of internships in government, the
press, agencies and science labs for those who are staying a second semester in
Paris. Approval from your home institution, accompanied by a faculty sponsor
is necessary. The internship includes a research paper and reports on a required
lecture series for one unit of credit (three credit hours).
ASSiStAntShipS in
SeCondAry SChoolS
Students may volunteer to serve
as assistants to French teachers of
English. The amount of time involved
varies from two to six hours per week.
Although these assistantships carry
no academic credit, they offer good
opportunities for direct contact with
French schools.
Learn. Work. Play.
Your experiences
won’t be limited to the
classroom.

Sweet Briar College sponsors
and directs the Junior Year in
France study abroad program.
Established in 1901, Sweet Briar
is consistently named as a top
college choice for women with
more than 40 areas of study.
experienCing frAnCe
There are a number of excursions and social
events we organize as a group.
In the fall Paris program we visit the Loire
Valley Châteaux, host a Seine River cruise,
tour the Opéra Bastille, visit the catacombs,
and journey to Provence to see Arles, Pont du
Gard and Baux de Provence. We also go on a
day trip to Reims to see the cathedral and the
Pommery champagne caves. At Thanksgiving
we serve up dinner at a Parisian restaurant. In
the spring we take a day trip to Rouen, receive
a guided experience at the Louvre and travel to
Normandy to see Bayeux, American Cemetery,
landing beaches, and Saint Malo. We alternate
our trips to Mont Saint-Michel and Avignon
between the fall and spring and some years
change things and go to Strasbourg to see its
cathedral and visit the Colmar art museum.
For the Nice program we visit the beautiful
cities of Villefranche, Eze, Grasse, Beaulieu,
Antibes, Cannes and the ever-exciting Monte
Carlo.
exAminAtionS
Exams are taken at the end of the preliminary
session and at end of each semester.

grAdeS
The scale is 0 to 20 and converted to letter grades on your transcript. For art and
performance, Distinction, Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory are given, often with a
written evaluation.
Credit
Once you have completed your work, we send a transcript of your grades to your
home institution, recommending credits in units, normally nine for the year (one
for the preliminary session and four for each semester) or five for fall semester and
four for spring semester, although some colleges may require you to take more units.
A unit is equal to a semester course. You can therefore hope to transfer between 27
and 32 hours of credit for the year, 12 to 16 for the semester, depending on your home
institution’s policy.
ClASS AttendAnCe
You are expected to attend classes regularly. In many courses, attendance is
compulsory if credit is to be granted. Vacation periods are long and frequent enough
— two weeks at Christmas, two weeks in spring (in Paris), plus a number of long
weekends — to make requests to be excused from classes unnecessary. Most course
work ends by the end of the third week in December for the first semester, and by
late May for the second semester, although some might extend into early June.
progrAm AdminiStrAtion
You will be responsible to the resident director and the associate director whose
authority ends when classes end. The resident director is the advisor on all
academic matters. Once you are accepted, you agree to take a full program of study
and to the administrative authority of both the resident director and the associate
director. You’re a representative of your college and our country, so good conduct is
expected.

trAvel ANd liviNg
Detailed instructions concerning passport and visa application, handling of baggage, time
and place of the group meeting prior to departure, and suggestions regarding clothing will
be furnished. An informal reception for students, their parents, families and friends will be
held at Washington Dulles International Airport on the day of departure for the Paris fall
program. This is an opportunity to meet each other and Junior Year in France staff.
flight informAtion
Group flights from Washington Dulles International Airport to Paris are scheduled in late
August for the fall and yearlong Paris program only. If you prefer to travel independently
to Paris, a request should be made when you apply or as soon as possible after admittance.
Normally the price of the airline ticket will be deducted from the fall and yearlong Paris
program fee. When you return, you’ll fly with a group or individually. Your return ticket is valid
for one year. Students in the Nice program, and those studying in Paris in the spring, must
make their own air travel arrangements and airfare is not included in the JYF program fees.
living ArrAngementS
In Tours, all our students live with French families, as do all those who wish to do so in Paris
and in Nice. Our families are carefully selected and evaluated by students in the program
every year. We look for host families who are truly interested in welcoming American
students. In Paris and in Nice most students will have single rooms. Other housing options
are available if you do not wish to stay with a French family. Requests for alternate living
arrangements must be made at the time of application or soon after.

{ FiNANCiAl Aid }
Need-based federal financial aid (Pell grants, Stafford loans, etc.) is available. State
grants (from such states as Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and the District of
Columbia) may also be available. We encourage you to find other sources of funding
as well.
In 2010-2011 approximately $54,000 in direct JYF grants, ranging from $500
to $6,000 were made available to qualified students. This aid came from funds
supported by friends and alumni of Junior Year in France and matching grants
from corporations, as well as contributions to the financial aid operating budget.
Applying for finAnCiAl Aid
Your home institution will normally process the federal financial aid application. Be
sure to contact the financial aid office, because many colleges allow institutional aid
to be applied to the Junior Year in France. If you need assistance, let us know.
To qualify for direct grants from the Junior Year in France, file a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a “Renewal” FAFSA as soon as possible after
Jan. 1. Mark both your home college and Sweet Briar College as recipients of the
Student Aid Report (SAR).
You will need to submit copies of your family income tax forms and a copy of your
current financial aid offer from your college by March 15. Since our grant money is
limited, late applicants may be denied a grant, although they may still be eligible for
federal and state grants and loans.

{ mediCAl iNSUrANCe }
The Junior Year in France fee includes membership in a medical insurance plan
administered by Cultural Insurance Services International and underwritten by
Ace American Insurance Company. Benefits include reimbursement of medical
expenses in and out of hospital up to a maximum of $100,000, with a $0 deductible
for each sickness or injury. The plan also provides for a maximum of $50,000 for
medical evacuation or repatriation. It contains the customary exclusions.
Coverage only applies when you are overseas. The policy is valid until Dec. 31 (fall)
or June 30 (spring and full-year). If you’re planning to return to the U.S. later, please
inform the Paris or Nice office to extend the insurance for a fee.
Important: Since coverage only applies when you are overseas, it is strongly
recommended that parents who have other policies continue protection so that one
plan may supplement the other.
The Sweet Briar College Junior Year in France is an equal opportunity affirmative
action institution and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, nationality,
sex, age or disability. This non-discrimination policy covers admissions, financial aid
awards, educational programs, services, activities and employment. The vice president
for finance and administration is the affirmative action official at Sweet Briar College.
The Junior Year in France complies with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and accepts students with disabilities who can successfully pursue a demanding and
rigorous program of study in France. Further information may be obtained from the
Junior Year in France Office or the Office of the Dean at Sweet Briar College. The
Dean of the College is designated to coordinate compliance with section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. SBC.edU/JYF 13
