Create a dynamic program that best suits your needs by combining two Lyon semester program options for a custom yearlong program. For example, a student could participate in the business program the first semester with a second semester of French language courses, the Diploma of French and European Studies program, or even regular French university courses through the Direct Enroll program for students with a strong mastery of French. The Custom Combination program allows students to potentially complete coursework in two distinct academic areas during their year in Lyon and is an outstanding option for students double-majoring in French and another academic area.
Requirements depend on the programs chosen. See each program page for each Lyon program more information.
Housing is coordinated by the IE3 Global Resident Director. Students may choose a host family, a residence hall, or a small apartment depending on their preferences. The host family option gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the French language and culture. Each participant is placed with a family that has been carefully selected and is ready to welcome a visiting student.
The experienced staff of the Centre Oregon Lyon support students during their study program. Resident Director Laurie Wilson and Program Assistant Rémédios Hernandez will help you to arrange housing, coordinate your orientation, introduce you to the city, give you guidance regarding the French educational system, and provide other logistical and personal support as needed. The Centre Oregon is located at Lyon 2 in a suite of offices shared by other Lyon 2 partner institutions.
