      french quarter: study abroad program    
   

pend several weeks studying the masters in one of the world’s greatest and most exciting cities while receiving up to 12 hours credit towards your degree. Classes will begin with two weeks on the Tech campus, then it’s off to Paris! After spending much of April in the City of Lights, we will return and finish the term in Ruston.

So that participants can make plans, we estimate the cost of this program to be approximately $4,300*, which includes round trip air fare from Monroe, Louisiana, hotel accommodations in Paris, especially arranged trips while in France, as well as the instruction and company of fantastic School of Art faculty. Additional expenses for this will be Louisiana Tech tuition, meals while there (our hotel/apartments each have full kitchen facilities), and pocket money as needed.

For more details please contact Jonathan Donehoo (jdonehoo@latech.edu). This is a great way to see this world capital and art center.

* Final pricing is being negociated and will be posted.
