2 Sarah Lawrence allows undergraduates to enroll in small seminar courses at Reid Hall as well as the opportunity to attend classes at Paris premier educational institutions. Each course is complemented by weekly or bi-weekly conference work sessions, during which students work individually with professors, delving deeper into course material. The program also offers a wide range of visual and performing arts courses at various studios and conservatories in and around Paris. In selecting a study abroad program, would the area s history, geography, and architecture be your priority? Would prominence of the arts and richness of the culture be essential to you? Or would intellectual energy and opportunity be imperative? Study abroad with Sarah Lawrence, and you won t have to choose one over the other. Each of our international programs offers all of these assets plus a focus on individualized study and an emphasis on cultural immersion. Our small, selective programs offer distinctive features so vital to a Sarah Lawrence education: stimulating classes, one-on-one conferences and tutorials, and close interaction with distinguished scholars and artists at the cutting edge of their fields. This approach ensures fuller understanding, facilitates deeper research, and allows for the pursuit of original projects just as it does on the SLC campus in New York.

The College has always viewed the year abroad as part of our unique education, and our programs are designed to further our educational philosophy of learning actively rather than passively, through direct interaction and inquiry. In this way we push the limits of our understanding until we engage in a wider world. Jerrilynn Dodds, Dean of the College SLC /14
