Educo staff seeks insofar as possible to facilitate the transition between the American and the French university systems. At first glance, the French system will probably seem puzzling and less welcoming. Everything is different: the teaching method, the professors, the grading system, the interaction between students and faculty. French professors often do not have offices at the university, and therefore do not hold office hours. Patience and motivation are a must for success. These two attributes are the key to a social and intellectual experience anywhere, but especially in France. Educo has signed exchange agreements with 4 universities in Paris : Université de Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne Université de Paris 4 - Sorbonne Université de Paris 7 - Denis Diderot, also known as Jussieu Institut d'Etudes Politiques, better known as Sciences-Po NB : To take classes at Science-Po, there is an additional Science-Po application form due in March, whether you are applying for fall, spring or year-long courses (March 2008 for fall 2008 and spring 2009). Paris 1 offers courses in law, economics, management, history, art history, philosophy and political science. Paris 4 : French majors (and music majors), preferably staying the whole year, will be given the opportunity to enroll in a limited number of courses at Paris 4. Paris 7 offers courses in anthropology, economics, geography, history, foreign languages (you may take courses in languages other than French only if you have studied them in the US), modern literature, anglophone literature (English majors only), mathematics, psychology, science and sociology.
