Program Structure & Courses

You’ll enroll in 1 - 4 CEA CAPA courses and 1 – 4 SKEMA courses.  CEA CAPA courses meet for 45 contact hours each, and CEA CAPA recommends 3 U.S. semester credits for each course. SKEMA courses each meet for 15-60 contact hours/1-4 credits. You will have the opportunity to earn up to 16 semester credits for your time abroad.

Prior to departure, you will select your preferred CEA CAPA courses and will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. SKEMA course selection is done directly through a SKEMA online course registration form. If you're taking a French language course, you'll take a language placement exam on-site. SKEMA reserves the right to make changes to course lists, course times and pre-selected courses right until the start of the semester.

It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
