Study Abroad in Paris Next Summer
The FLC Paris Summer Study Abroad Program is back for 2024! For an immersive five weeks, from June 17 through July 24, 2024, students will study the history of one of the great cities of the world – Paris, France – from the Roman Empire to the present. Following a classroom meeting each day, students will continue their learning by visiting the sites where this history happened. Participation in such a program will likely change how you see the world and your place in it, for as Victor Hugo wrote in Les Misérables, “To study in Paris is to be born in Paris.” All Los Rios students are invited to participate! For questions, contact FLC History Professor Richard Mowrer at mowrerr@flc.losrios.edu.
