Through this intensive language program, students can rapidly improve their French language ability. Students experience full language immersion through instruction at L'Institute Catholique de Toulouse, interdisciplinary seminars and homestays in French communities.

Students interact with French scholars, community members, local organizers, and arts groups. The program's Community Service Project provides students an opportunity to increase language skills while giving back to the host community.

The program is based in Toulouse, France's second-largest urban university area. Toulouse is home to a world-class arts and cultural scene and is situated between the Pyrenees Mountains and Mediterranean Sea. Students also undertake several excursions outside Toulouse, including to the Pyrenees Orientales along the French-Spanish border.
