The Program

The University of Orleans is a recent addition to the Ouachita Study Abroad Program.  Located in France’s famous Chateaux country, this university has been one of Europe’s foremost centres of learning since the middle Ages.  The city of Orleans is a regional capital with a population of 220,000, and its mild climate attracts many visitors year round.  Today the university accomodates 12,000 students, and classes can be taken in any of the three colleges – the School of Law and Business, Liberal Arts, and Science, the Institute of Technology, and the School of Engineering.

Financial Aid

All outside financial aid that a student is currently utilizing may be applied toward the cost of the semester study program.  Ouachita allows a student to use 50% of Ouachita issued scholarships (with the exception of work-study aid).
