The five-week program (May 21–June 26) offers 2 courses, worth 3 credits each. Students will enroll in both courses through the University of Notre Dame’s Summer Session. Tom Kselman, professor of history, will teach History of Paris. Students will also enroll in an art history course, taught in English by a French professor. Students will receive Notre Dame credit for these courses and they will count toward the GPA.

Students will live in furnished apartments with other program participants. Since the apartments have kitchens, students will be responsible for their own meals. Additionally, students will receive a transportation pass to get around Paris for the duration of the program.

The cost of the program is $6,275. This fee includes tuition, housing, breakfast, local transportation, field trips, cultural activities, and guest lectures. Participants will be responsible for their own flight arrangements.

The first 10 students to confirm participation in the Rome summer program will receive a generous $250 grant from the Nanovic Institute of European Studies.

HIST 34455. History of Paris

This course will approach the history of Paris as an entry point for studying the history of France. Four key themes will be the basis for organizing the material: the role of Paris as the political capital of the French state; the social relations of the people of Paris; the cultural life of Paris, a center for the development of ideas; and Paris as a destination for foreign travelers. This course will fulfill the University’s social science requirement. For history majors, this course will count towards the modern Europe or Ancient/Medieval European requirement.

We will also offer an art history course, likely on Modern French Art. The course will be reviewed by ND’s art history department.
