This June, nine Augustana students are in Paris for a five-week program pairing a course in music, from medieval to the birth of modernism, with a literature course on expatriate American writers in Paris. Students are connecting classroom experiences with visits to the cathedrals, cafes, bookstores and salons that inspired artists from the Gothic period to the 20th Century.
