The Advisory Committee
APA’s programs have been specifically designed for students enrolled in US higher education institutions to experience complete integration into French and Francophone academic life by helping them better understand and appreciate the differences between the French and the American educational systems and between American, French, and Francophone cultures.
The criteria for acceptance into our programs, as well as the academic guidelines, have been determined with the assistance of an Advisory Committee. The group is regularly informed and consulted so that its members may assist APA in achieving its goals of professional excellence in serving the needs of its students.
