The Marseille academic program, taught by committed local experts and tenured professors from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques and l’Université de Provence and La Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l’Homme, focuses upon French and Arabic language and civilization, Middle East area studies, immigration issues, inter-religious communication and cross-cultural mediation. On-site course work in France is supplemented by a one-week program in Tunisia for Fall and Morocco for Spring combining lectures, visits, and guided encounters with the local population.
All AUCP course work is conceived to be highly
pertinent to the on-site setting, French Practicum, the mandatory core
program, provides an especially strong link between academic work,
direct French cultural contact, and the guided reflection on the
student’s overall experience.
The
Marseille program is open to non-French majors. That said, all AUCP
courses are given in French and students sign a binding language pledge
to speak only French during their stay.
Participation in the academic program requires an
“advanced” level in French, which translates as an
ability to meet all-French course work requirements in listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. A minimum of two years college French,
or equivalent, generally prepares students for the AUCP academic
program.
