2015 Feb 18

Justin Barhite of Suamico, WI participated in a J-Term study tour to Paris with Carthage College.

The "Paris: A Capital Experience" study tour took students to Paris for two weeks where they studied Parisian life while touring the city. They learned about French history and the main styles of architecture and principal schools of art as it explains the development of various places and monuments visited. They were taught to observe and imitate appropriate public behavior and were guided to make observations on the French daily way of life, including greetings, food and table manners, shopping, family behavior, and friendship. Students with minimal or no knowledge of the language practiced basic greetings and expressions, while more advanced students of French served as their interpreters.

J-Term is a special month-long period of study in which Carthage students explore subjects outside their majors or minors, discover new interests, and test their creativity through classes held both on campus and around the world. It's a month to experiment, create and dream. Carthage is ranked No. 7 in the nation among baccalaureate institutions for student participation in short-term study abroad.
