Study at College International de Cannes

The College is a few minutes from the beaches of the Riviera and a five-minute walk to the famous La Croisette and port area of Cannes. Classes are small, and all instructors are native French speakers. Students can earn French credit at the 100 and 200 level and take seminars in English in the areas of international business and art history. General courses taught in French are also available to upper-level students.

Cannes is known throughout the world as home of the annual film festival, but the city has much more than cinema to offer. The Cote d’Azur region of France is breathtakingly beautiful and full of both cultural and recreational opportunities. Short train rides can take you to activities ranging from hiking and snow skiing in the nearby Alps to deep-sea diving in the Mediterranean.
