UGA en France, Summer 2024
The UGA en France program is back after a 7-year hiatus. We're excited to be once again helping our majors and minors (or other interested students) improve their French and hone their cultural skills. The new iteration of the program differs somewhat from the original. We will be in France for 5 weeks, most of which will be spent in Montpellier, where you will have class with UGA faculty in the morning and with a native French speaker in the afternoon. We will visit the Loire Valley and Paris during our stay. Students can earn 9 hours of credit toward the major or the minor during the program. Please note that UGA en France is the only UGA study abroad program for French. Your credits are not transfer credits; you will enroll in UGA courses, just as you would if you were taking courses here in Athens. That's a huge benefit!!

Our goals are to foster students´ communicative abilities in Spanish in authentic contexts, to deepen their understanding of Argentina and Latin America, and to improve their analytical and writing skills in Spanish.

Why Teach at a Private/Independent School?
At an independent school, quality isn’t just test scores and college acceptances; it’s also the unique way teachers maximize the potential of their students.
Independent schools have small class sizes, allowing teachers to create a more intimate learning environment. Teachers have the flexibility and autonomy to forge their own paths to excellence. Engaged faculties help support and foster first-time teachers as they become part of the school community. And parental involvement effectively creates a classroom beyond the school walls.
Portuguese Flagship Program
he Portuguese Flagship Program (PFP) at the University of Georgia is the first and only of its kind. Intended for undergraduate students with a unique commitment to reach the highest levels of Portuguese and apply those skills in a professional context, the PFP offers an unprecedented opportunity for motivated students to internationalize their academic experience. For many it will also serve as a stepping-stone into an international career. More than a study abroad program, the PFP is structured to complement the student’s major area of study from the moment he or she arrives on campus. Participating students also benefit from accelerated classes, regular group or one-on-one tutorials, Zoom partners in Brazil, rich cultural events, support for immersion experiences both in the US and abroad, and a capstone year studying at UFSJ – a leading Brazilian university – and completing a semester long internship in Brazil. Throughout their four years of study, PFP students strive to achieve superior proficiency in Portuguese and gain insight into how this skill and body of knowledge will create future opportunities. We encourage you to browse the site and contact us, or just visit us at the PFP office.
