The French section works with the Office of International Programs to provide a semester or a full year of study in France in one of 22 French universities though the ISEP program. This option provides linguistic and cultural study in courses designed for foreign students and allows students whose linguistic skills are adequate to enroll in regular university courses. Home stays with French families at an additional cost are available for foreign students at most universities. ISEP is open to students of all majors, but students planning to study abroad in France should have a minimum of two years of university study in French. Many of the courses taken at a French university can apply to the French major and minor. Students must develop a study plan with one of the French faculty and with their major advisor in order to insure efficient transfer of credits. A second option, again in conjunction with the Office of International Programs, is a direct exchange with three universities in France: L'Université Catholique de l'Ouest (UCO in Angers, L'Université de Toulouse-le Mirail in Toulouse, L'Université Jean Moulins-Lyon III in Lyons. Home stays are available at UCO, Toulouse and Lyon. This option is open to students of all majors, but students should have adequate linguistic preparation in French to take regular courses. A third option is the Study Abroad Program in Paris organized by the French section spring semesters. The program is not limited to French majors and minors, but ability to take 300 level courses in French is required. This program includes seven weeks of study and orientation on the UM campus and ten weeks of study at the Alliance Française in Paris, accompanied by a faculty member in the French section.
