As the lines blur between traditional and new media, the constant flow of information impacts political and cultural trends around the world. From 24-hour news channels to citizens and world leaders sharing the same social media platforms to diffuse their reactions, we are exposed to global issues from many different perspectives. Exploring the relationships between media, politics, and citizens has never been more pertinent. This high-impact program places you in the heart of Paris to help you develop critical communication skills and real-world understanding of political and global issues. An Early Start option in the Fall semester allows you to jump start your language learning before the semester begins.
