At the forefront of cross-cultural communication, the Marseille program integrates a rigorous academic setting with guided cultural experience outside the classroom.

Ensuring a motivating interdisciplinary learning experience, French Practicum, the cornerstone of AUCP academics, brings together the curricular with the extracurricular, combining all-French classwork with experiential learning components including individual homestay, language partner, personal interest activity, and community service.

Courses focus on French and Arabic language and civilization, Middle East area studies, immigration issues, inter-religious communication and cross-cultural mediation. On-site study in Tunisia in the Fall and Morocco in the Spring.
