Institute for Field Education

Academic Courses

The Paris Field Study and Internship Program comprises four credit-bearing elements, fully described elsewhere on this site:

 The Foundations of French Politics, Policies and Institutions, Yesterday and Today
 Structure, Transformation and Issues in French Society: A socio-cultural approach
 Towards a European Society
 Independent Study / Field Research

The school of record for this program, Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster PA, has established a credit model which IFE believes well reflects the academic work required for each element as well as the relative learning outcomes.

The F&M credit distribution is as follows:

 The Political Life of France Yesterday and Today - 4 credits
 French Society: Composition, Problems, and Place in the World - 4 credits
 Towards a European Society - 2 credits
 Independent Study / Field Research - 7 credits


For students whose home institution requests or requires the F&M transfer transcript, IFE handles all transcript requests directly with the F&M Registrar as well as payment of all fees.

Inquiries about the transfer transcript, or about other credit models used by IFE partner institutions, may be directed to IFE, ife@ife-edu.eu.
