Course Descriptions
Pace students will have all of their courses pre-approved prior to study at one of the MICEFA universities. When applying to the program please consider your level of fluency in French and at what level you will be able to successfully complete courses. MICEFA offers an intensive three week language and orientation program, meant to assess a student's level of fluency in French and help with language acquisition and training. Detailed course information will be available to students once they are accepted. Additionally, students have the option to change universities and/or courses upon arrival in Paris.

Most students will secure housing on their own after arrival in Paris. During the three-week orientation, students are housed at a local hotel. MICEFA staff assist students with securing housing, whether it be in a homestay, apartment, or as a "demi au pair."
