The France: City of Lights Internship in Paris is a very special opportunity for SU
students with French language proficiency to incorporate an intensive international work
experience into their academic curriculum. The program is offered in either the fall or
spring semester. The semester experience combines intensive study of the French
language with meaningful internship experiences in fields such as advertising/
marketing/public relations, art/art museums and galleries, business, event planning,
fashion business, fashion design, film and theater, graphic design, hospitality/travel/
tourism, journalism, law/legal, sports administration, and video production. A city of
more than 2 million, Paris is home to iconic sites such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame,
and Montmartre while also serving as the center for French business and government.
Paris offers countless cultural and tourist experiences, including the famous Louvre
museum, the Paris Ballet, and modern cultural icons such as the Pompidou center and
the Picasso Museum.
