Program Overview
The KIIS Paris I program offers Paris as its classroom, with a selection of courses designed to immerse participants in the city’s artistic treasures, intriguing history, respected literary traditions, and other cultural riches via direct interactions. With its captivating history, as well as its reputation for good taste, fine cuisine, high fashion and legendary sports, Paris has something for everyone.
All KIIS course credit is awarded by Western Kentucky University. Prior to your KIIS program, please speak with your home campus academic advisor and/or study abroad office to determine course equivalencies. Grades will be transferred to your home institution in mid-August after the completion of the program. Course offerings are subject to change according to enrollment. For more information, visit Transcripts & Grades.
Program Excursions
At the end of the program, the group will go on a traditional “Bateau mouche” and enjoy a 2 hour long visit on the Seine River to view classic Parisian landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Le Louvre and many more.
Chambord and Chenonceau are two of the most beautiful examples of Renaissance castles. The difference in style and purpose will allow the group to appreciate two different ideas of what this period represented.
A walk through the neighborhood where the group will spend a month will allow everybody to have a look at a true Parisian neighborhood and will allow participants to get a feel for the location of local landmarks, everyday shops, restaurants and so on.

Student Voices
“I spent my whole life only seeing pictures and figurines of the Eiffel Tower, so the fact that I was there is still mind blowing. My favorite experience was probably having a photoshoot in the Tuileries Garden.”
- China, Paris I
“Traveling with KIIS has given me opportunities to capture the light, movement and personality of Paris. My roommates quickly became my best friends, and the interpersonal connection I’ve developed with my professor is one I am forever grateful for. Je t’aime, Paris!”
- Emily, Paris I
“Study abroad taught me, in the most hands-on way possible, how to truly live. Never, for one single moment of my life, have I regretted my decision to study abroad, and I never will. It is easily the best investment that a person can make in herself, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
- Whitney, Paris I
“Studying abroad in Paris was the best experience of my life. I had the opportunity to see painting and monuments that can take some people a lifetime to see. I met some amazing people and I will never forget the experience I shared with my peers whether it be walking down the streets, the nightlife or just doing homework in the park.”
- Kaharie, Paris I
“It was a dream. When I stepped off the plane in Paris, France I still couldn't believe it was a reality. The city became our classroom, and our home, for the month aboard. The people I met and lived with are not ones I will soon forget. I learned a lot about myself and gained a new perspective of the world.”
- Alexis, Paris I
"This is my second time studying through the KIIS, and if I could there would be a third! I took 2 photography classes while on the KIIS Paris 1 trip and I really feel like these 2 classes pushed me in the direction of getting a way better insight of this beautiful city. The assignments were always fun and we were usually out and about in the city!"
- Betty, Paris I
