With 75 study abroad programs — in language, liberal arts, fine arts, engineering, and science — in more than 20 countries, Boston University can justifiably claim a global campus. But what does that mean beyond an impressive list of place names? Last fall, we checked in on six of these programs in Europe to capture a day, or two, in the life of BU abroad. We found that studying in a global campus can range from attending raucous sessions of the British Parliament to learning to love siestas and Madrid’s late-night dinners to getting splashed by the waters of Venice’s Grand Canal on the way to your painting studio. During this semester, BU Today is showcasing videos of students’ international experiences.
Next up, Paris — a longtime destination for young Americans seeking a cosmopolitan experience. BU’s Paris Internship Program follows eight weeks of intensive language and liberal arts courses with an eight-week internship in industries such as art, film, business, and hospitality. But it’s not all work and no play: students have plenty of time to stroll the Champs-Élysées, pain au chocolat in hand. More than 1,600 students have participated in the program since it was founded in 1989.
The deadline to apply for the Paris Internship Program for the fall semester is March 15. For the spring semester, the deadline is October 15.
