The main class is called “The History of Paris: City of Kings, Culture, and Light.” This course will be taught entirely in English and will trace the history and culture of one of the most beautiful cities on Earth: Paris. We will use the city as our classroom as we explore the origins of the city, how it developed through centuries of monarchies, and how it became the international center of art and culture it is today. 4 cr.
