Junior
Year Abroad in France & Francophone Countries
Study Abroad in France or in a Francophone country is open to
both majors and nonmajors. Students must have successfully completed
at least one 4-credit course each semester they are enrolled at
Mount Holyoke prior to departure for study abroad (excluding independent
study). They also should have completed at least one course in culture
and literature at the 200-level (215, 219, 225, or 230).
Mount Holyoke College has its own study abroad program in Montpellier,
France, and is also affiliated with the Sweet
Briar College Junior Year in France Program. Please consult
the French department and the Center for Global Initiatives for
details about these and other programs. Eligible students who are
selected to participate in the Montpellier and Dakar programs may
use their Mount Holyoke financial aid to do so. Mount Holyoke financial
aid for Sweet Briar, as well as for other approved study abroad
programs, is awarded on a competitive basis. Scholarships, specifically
for study in France or Italy, are available to qualified undergraduates
from the Mary Vance Young Scholarship Fund. Information about financing
study abroad may be obtained from the Center
for Global Initiatives.
