Summer in paris 2006
Learn International Business in Paris! UNC Charlotte's International Business Program offers an exciting opportunity for students to learn international business techniques while visiting one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. For the international student, education in Paris is certainly not limited to the classroom. It spills over into the city itself. Politics and philosophy are still hotly debated in Left Bank cafe's. The street culture of Paris, with its open markets, vibrant city squares and incessant parade of humanity, provides endless opportunities to discover oneself and the human spirit. At no time in her history has Paris had so many museums; they are invaluable, living textbooks of art, history, and culture. For the international student, Paris itself is the ideal campus. The international educational experience in Paris is among the most rewarding experiences in the journey of a student. It is an opportunity to discover one of the world's truly great cities. It is an interactive experience; one in which the student contributes to the very international dynamic that provides such valuable opportunities for learning, growth, and self-exploration.
