Immerse yourself

Imagine studying the French language not only in a university classroom, but in the corner cafe where you order coffee, the clubs where you dance with friends, the very streets you walk to school.

AUP’s carefully crafted French programs offer rigorous instruction in the French language—reviewing grammar and vocabulary, improving pronunciation—while allowing a firsthand introduction to French culture both in and outside the classroom.

French Immersion courses take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m Monday through Friday to prepare you for your globally connected future.

Experience

Experience

All classes are taught by experienced, native French teachers and include dynamic, innovative teaching methods using audio, video, and real-life situations. 

Students will be placed into one of four classes ranging from very introductory French for those with no experience, to a high intermediate course for those with a good familiarity of French looking to express more complex ideas and attitudes. All French Immersion students will take an online placement test to determine which course to enroll in.
