The Thomas Ahrens International Programs

The department offers two popular international programs; students in both degree programs are encouraged to apply. Participating students must have valid passports and, in some cases, visas.

  • The Paris Summer Study Program
    The department provides a rich and varied learning and living opportunity for qualified students to earn six elective credits in international tourism and traditions of the French table. All requirements are detailed in a required meeting each February.
  • The International Work Program
    Selected students spend the summer months working as interns at resorts, hotels and restaurants in the United States and Western Europe. With the generous support of the NYCCT Foundation and industry associations, including Societé Culinaire Philanthropique de New York, Inc. and Paris Gourmet, students receive a stipend.
