Syracuse Abroad and the College of Engineering & Computer Science have specially created a fall-only program in Strasbourg, France to help second-year engineering and computer science students stay on track for graduation while they study abroad.
This program is for first semester, second-year students in:
Aerospace Engineering
Bio Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
All engineering courses are taught in English at the Syracuse Strasbourg Center and at INSA Institute Strasbourg, France’s prestigious grande école of applied sciences. Students may also register for non-engineering courses if space in their schedule allows, including 1-credit community internships, art courses and other classes at the Syracuse center.
During the semester, most students live with French host families and have access to all of the activities arranged by the staff at the Syracuse Strasbourg Center. Living with a host family allows students to use the French learned in class and develop insights into French food, culture, language and daily life. It’s the fastest way to feel at home in France—something no textbook can teach!
Requirements: Minimum GPA: 3.0; Students with a GPA between 2.5 and 3.0 can petition the Syracuse University College of Engineering and Computer Science to apply. There is no language prerequisite, however, all students must take a French language course.
All courses will follow Syracuse University curricula and syllabi, and will use familiar teaching and assessment methods.

Student Spotlight
“Taking classes at INSA allowed me to regularly be in the same building as French engineering students and occasionally work with them. In one class, we had a few lectures where each SU undergraduate was partnered with an INSA graduate student to solve problem sets.”
