Founded in 1947, CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) sees it as its primary missions to humanize international relations and foster peace through international education and exchange programs that promote intercultural understanding.
A nonprofit, non-governmental study abroad and intercultural exchange organization, CIEE sponsors a wide variety of opportunities for the exchange of ideas and experiences and helps people develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world.
The CIEE Paris center opened in 1973. Today, the center hosts a variety of programs, including Open Campus Block (OCB) and French and Critical Studies (FCS) every term. Our study center is currently located in the 6th arrondissement on the campus of the Alliance française.

The Summer 2023 course will run from Wednesday, May 17 to Thursday, June 22. Except for the first class, classes are scheduled Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4pm to 6:30pm.
CIEE uses the learning management system Canvas for its study programs. Our courses involve active student learning, skill development and experiential learning activities (site visits, attending events, guest speakers, round table discussions).
