The European Approach to Management

Program Tracks and Costs

Program Tracks

There are three tracks in the summer program at Telecom and Management SudParis

  • Management track
  • Designing games
  • Information technology (IT) track

Students in all 3 tracks are housed in the same dorms, take French language classes together, and participate in most of the same excursions together. The principle differences are in the morning when each track has its own content-specific class.

Costs

This program is very reasonably priced. The cost of the program is $2,500. The information technology (IT) track costs an additional $250.

All students will receive a $300 scholarship from the Pamplin College of Business. The money will be deposited into your student account when summer school starts. You can use this money to cover your fees and expenses. You must complete a FAFSA form to receive the scholarship.
