Study in Lyon to learn and live in one of the most attractive cities in France, creating a fresh combination of the bustle of a large, European city and the simplicity of French tradition. Explore the city center with towering business buildings, blocks of busy shops, and streets lined with cafes full of Lyonnais taking their afternoon break. Then, turn onto a quiet cobblestone street and duck into a small bistro, where you are sure to get a chance to practice your French. Spend your weekends biking or strolling along the Rhône or Saône rivers, planning a Sunday picnic with friends, or wandering through some of the most well-preserved Renaissance architecture in the world.

The Lyon program offers an intensive language approach at Université Lumière Lyon 2 (University of Lyon 2), where you earn up to 15 credits of French in one semester. Depending on your language level, choose electives in culture, political science, cinema, economics, or literature taught specifically for USAC students. The university itself also offers the opportunity to enroll in courses with French students, taught in either English or French.
