INSA Summer: Engineering & French Society (Faculty-Led Program)

Spend a month living in Rennes, France, and studying French language and culture at the prestigious INSA Rennes with other international students. INSA is known internationally as one of the best Engineering colleges in Europe. In this program, students will accompany an RIT faculty member and take one engineering course for 3 credits and an additional 6 credits (for transfer) in French language and culture. Rennes is in Brittany and just 1.5 hours from the coast and four hours to Paris which makes it an accessible jumping-off point for personal travel. A three-night excursion to Paris is included in the program. 

This program is expected to run next in summer 2024. To inquire about the 2024 program, contact the faculty director, Matt Marshall (mmmeie@rit.edu).
