-
The program offers part-time internships at NGOs, government agencies and other associations in Strasbourg for pre-qualified students. Internships require a commitment of 12-15 hours per week for 10 weeks, as well as, a course load of a minimum of 12 credit hours at the university. In addition, students prepare a 20-page dissertation in French, which is evaluated by the internship director and a tutor. Students may earn 4 US credits for successful completion of the dissertation.
- Throughout the semester, the program organizes excursions to sites of historical and cultural interest in and around Strasbourg. Excursions are meant to teach students something about France's past.
-
Located on the French border with Germany, midway between Paris and Prague, Strasbourg has been a crossroads of people and ideas for centuries. The city has gone back and forth five times between France and Germany.
- Soka students are required to live with a host family. One of the big criteria for selecting host families is that they host only one American student at a time. The Program also insists on the host family speaks only French with the student. All families live within walking distance of the university campus and city center.
-
Three meals per day are all included in program fee.
