It is anticipated that eighteen Illinois students and five Iowa students will be enrolled in the program for the 1970-71 academic year. Instruction will consist of an intensive five-week orientation program from mid-September to late October to be held at the University of Grenoble, followed by the remainder of the academic year at the University of Rouen where students will take special courses in language, literature, and civilization. Agreements will be executed with the Universities of Grenoble and Rouen to provide the instructional programs. A member of the Urbana-Champaign faculty will be present with the group to serve as Program Director and to insure the quality o_ instruction. f Participants will live with French families and take occasional field trips to places of cultural and historical significance. Students successfully completing the year's program will be granted a full academic year of credit (approximately thirty semester hours) at their respective universities.
