Hamilton in France provides students a solid academic experience based on the deep Hamilton College commitment to a liberal arts education and personal exploration.

Founded in 1957 as Hamilton College Junior Year in France, the program is supervised and directed by professors of the department of French at Hamilton and is open to qualified students at American colleges and universities. Each resident director brings extensive personal experience to directing study abroad programs and a deep knowledge of the educational system and of cultural and daily life in France.

Hamilton in France is small enough to provide the individual advising and personal support each student needs to rise to the challenges of the experience. The integrated academic, linguistic and cultural components of the program allow students to progress in their academic discipline, acquire excellent linguistic proficiency, gain confidence and be more informed citizens of the world.
