Note:  Not every course is offered each semester due to enrollment minimums.

An intensive French course accompanies the business program, designed to teach survival French. Students are enrolled at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level. No previous knowledge of French is required; however, students who do have an advanced level of French and a strong business background may select the business programs for French students, taught in French.

  • fall - late August to mid-December

Housing

IPAG, like most other schools in France, does not have American-style dormitories. For this reason, IPAG helps students to find private accommodations near the school. There are two options:

  • Furnished rooms in privately-run student residences (Résidences Hotelières)
  • Privately owned furnished apartments

Admission Requirements

Applicants must have a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Acceptance is based on the student’s academic standing, recommendations, and personal study statement.
