Become a MICEFA Partner University!
Interested in becoming a MICEFA university partner?
All North American anglophone accredited universities are eligible to join the MICEFA and begin exchanging students with France! The MICEFA is a unique non-profit association that brings together 18 higher education institutions in the Paris and outlying cities with the mission to facilitate academic reciprocal exchanges.
How it Works!
Thanks to the support from the French Education Ministry (MESRI) and the United States Embassy, as well as funding from our French University Members, the MICEFA is able to act as your study abroad office away from home during the semester free of charge.
The MICEFA is here to support your students in every aspect of their abroad experience during their exchange in Paris in collaboration with your university’s international office.
The MICEFA exchange is a 1:1 reciprocal exchange. 1 semester exchanged in France = 1 semester exchanged in North America.
