If you are interested in study, research, or teaching abroad look no further.

Undergraduate Opportunities:

In addition to the many study abroad programs offered in francophone countries by UW's International Academic Programs, CIFS proposes three other possibilities:

1. The Sciences Po Exchange allows undergraduates to pursue upper-level coursework in Paris for a semester or an academic year at the prestigious Institut d'Etudes Politiques.
2. The Pasteur Foundation of New York offers the Paul W. Zuccaire Undergraduate Internship Program, a 10 week internship at the Institut Pasteur for undergraduate students in French and Science Departments.
3. CIFS occasionally receives requests for summer interns from French businesses and organizations. Any undergraduate with a background in business and fluency in French who is interested in a possible internship should contact CIFS to see if there are any opportunities. (It may be possible to receive course credit for these internships.)

Graduate Student Opportunities:

CIFS coordinates the Chateaubriand Scholarship, a program made available annually by the French government for students pursuing doctoral research in topics related to France.

A post-doctoral fellowship is also offered for graduate students to do up to 3 years of research in laboratories of the Institut Pasteur.

Recent Graduate Opportunities:

The French Government offers the English Language Assistant Program, where 1500 assistants are paid to teach conversational English throughout France and its territories.
