École du Louvre Exchange

The École du Louvre exchange between Princeton’s Department of Art and Archaeology and the École du Louvre normally allows up to two graduate students from each institution to study at the partner institution for one semester, or one graduate student from each institution to study at the partner campus for one academic year, under the general supervision of a member or members of faculty of the hosting department. 

The exchange is currently restricted to Princeton graduate students from the Department of Art and Archaeology and École du Louvre graduate students. 

Details

At Princeton, École students will be enrolled as Visiting Exchange Students and will have access to all the same facilities as a full-time enrolled graduate student. There will be no tuition or fee exchange under this agreement. École students do not receive funding from Princeton. Students may apply for campus housing but it cannot be guaranteed.
