CSUCI Art in Paris
Each summer, CSUCI Art professors accompany
15 students on a one-month residency in Paris. Classes involve painting,
drawing and art history throughout the city of Paris
and other famous nearby points of interest.
The
UNIV 392 Paris study-abroad program counts for 3 units. This CSUCI
program is operated in association with the Paris American Academy,
an established
private art school located near the Sorbonne in the exciting Latin
Quarter of metropolitan Paris.
Students live in apartments located within walking distance from the
Paris American Academy studios and many other famous Paris monuments
and museums. The Metro (subway) is located just
a couple of blocks from the school giving students easy access to the
entire city.
