Eligibility

On-Program Requirements

Academic Culture

Host institution courses tend to be lecture-based, and students are expected to work more independently than in the U.S. Great importance is placed on oral presentations and written essays, so strong (English or French) language speaking and writing skills are important. Professors expect students to determine their own study and reading schedules. Similar to classes at U.S. institutions, students should expect to spend an average of two hours of preparation and study for each hour in their classes. Classes are often more formal and consist of lectures with less class participation.

CIEE courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. The class schedule typically features a combination of traditional lectures and discussions with co-curricular excursions and activities. Heavy emphasis is placed on student engagement.

To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Rennes when classes are in session and plan trips for the long weekends.

Class Format

CIEE courses are typically for CIEE students only. Host Institution classes include both local and international students. Classes at both CIEE and ICR will span from Monday to Friday and meet 1-2 times per week for anywhere from 1-3 hours per session, depending on the course.

Grading

For CIEE-administered courses, students’ grades are based on attendance, class engagement, homework, project work, presentations, midterms, and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. Host Institution professors use a French grading scale of 0–20, with 10 considered a minimal passing grade. Assessment is typically based on essays, tests, oral presentations, out-of-class project reports, participation, midterms, and final exams. Students should expect two major exams per term. The final exam may count for up to 50 percent of the final grade. CIEE reports all final course grades to students’ home institutions using a U.S. letter grade equivalent scale of A-F.

Individual courses may have additional prerequisites; for CIEE courses, these are listed in the syllabi below. Students are responsible for having their own course approval conversations with their advisors. Your study abroad advisor and CIEE staff can help you understand your course options if you don't see a recommendation that fits your course needs.

Language of Instruction

Course Information

For students who want to take classes in French: a minimum of 4 semesters of college-level French (or equivalent) or equivalent B2 level in French.
