I chose all my classes with full intent to explore French culture. My classes were French, Architecture, 20th Century Art, and Mass Media & 时尚产业. 所有的课每周一次, for 3 hours, with the exception of French classes which met twice a week for 1.5 hours. I was fortunate enough to have classes only Tuesday through Thursday, 这意味着我有四天的周末, but there is no guarantee that this would be the case for any given student. 

• 巴黎历史: 架构的视角. This was a class recommended to me by a previous CEA student. Almost every class is a field trip to a location of interest in Paris that you may not have chosen to visit yourself. This is a great way of seeing more of the city and learning about history you otherwise wouldn’t notice while walking past on the streets.  

• 20世纪艺术: 现代主义的历史. Paris is one of the best cities in the world when it comes to exploring art, and you’ll get many opportunities to go see it during class time. 巴黎有很多著名的博物馆, 我们将在本课中探讨其中一些, 比如卢浮宫, Musee Rodin, 奥赛博物馆, and more. Your grade is based entirely off two exams and an art analysis paper (and of course, 和其他课程一样, attendance).  

• French: One of my more prevalent goals when choosing Paris as my study abroad destination was improving my French communication skills. I took French for seven years through middle and high school, but nothing compares to learning the language while living in a country that speaks it primarily. CEA offers a wide range of classes based on skill level, 无论你是初学者还是高级演讲者. These classes tend to be smaller, and quite helpful in improving your French language skills.  

• 大众传媒与时尚产业: I chose this fashion course because it aligned my passion for fashion with my career ambitions as an advertising major. 类似于架构类, this course has excursions to fashion related destinations and accompanied activities. 你们小组合作创建一个时尚博客, 拍下你在街上看到的时尚趋势, 并获得很多关于时尚界的知识!
