APA has developed numerous contingency plans to adapt to changes in travel as occurred in 2020. Students should note that a tailored program that could involve starting in a different country, staying only in one or only visiting two countries could be plausible if a travel ban were to be in place. Spring 2022 and Fall 2022 all sites were open and welcomed students for the program. It is the strength of local teams that allow us to provide both flexibility and security to our students.  For information on how APA has navigated COVID -19 protocols effectively, please inquire with the US office or refer to the Ongoing Updates for COVID-19 Response page for more details.

Eligibility

The ideal APA student is bright and motivated, internationally-minded who seeks a cross-cultural experience and has a desire to experience French and Francophone life.

We know that several factors play into a student’s ability to learn a second language (or third, or fourth!). The number of semesters of college French should be seen as a guideline when determining program eligibility. If you have any concerns, contact us and we will be happy to assist you in in determining your level.
