The Aix Center of Humanities and Social Sciences - Course Offerings (Fall 2012)
All students MUST get a total of 8 classes approved by their academic advisor, in case of changes in course availability or schedule conflicts. That way, if a class is full or cancelled, or if 2 of the classes you want to take meet at the same time, you'll already have back-up classes that you know your school will accept. When you pre-register for classes (this happens after you're accepted), you will have to list a total of 8 possible classes on your registration form, in order of preference.
Each course is worth 3 credits, unless noted otherwise. Students are expected to take 5, 3-credit courses per semester. All courses are taught in English unless noted otherwise.
NOTE: Students who have not taken any French before are required to take FRE 100 (6 credits), plus 3 electives of their choosing.
All courses with a course number that begins with FRE are taught in French.

French Honors Program
The Aix Center of Humanities and Social Sciences now offers a French Honors Program during both semester and summer programs!

This program offers students full immersion into their classrooms, French homestays, excursions and optional internships.
To participate, students should have taken at least 4 semesters of college level French (or equivalent) and must be recommended for the program by their home institutions. For further details about this program, click here!
