Stanford engineering students can receive credit for study abroad at Ecole Centrale Paris and earn a prestigious French engineering degree along with their BS/MS at Stanford.

This program is particularly well suited to undergraduates who intend to apply for a coterminal degree at Stanford.

Ecole Centrale Paris is one of the best known science and engineering schools in France and Europe. From its foundation in 1829, its vocation has been to educate engineers for industry. Well-known industrialists and engineers who have graduated from the school include Eiffel, Michelin and Peugeot.

After the two years of the core curriculum at ECP, French students are able to successfully prepare Stanford Master's degrees in departments as diverse as EE, ME and EESOR.

What Ecole Centrale Paris offers:

• a multi-disciplinary approach to engineering with an emphasis on theoretical mathematics and the human and social sciences
• close links to industry
• a small friendly campus with guaranteed housing
• immersion in French culture
• fellowships that cover tuition for outstanding, motivated Stanford students with a strong background in mathematics and physics.

The Stanford/ECP Program leads to the awarding of three degrees: BS/MS from Stanford, Diplôme d'Ingénieur from Ecole Centrale Paris.

The Program involves:

• two years of study at junior/senior level at Ecole Centrale Paris with credit transfer from ECP to Stanford
• completion of BS/MS at Stanford
• awarding of three degrees: BS/MS from Stanford, Diplôme d'Ingénieur from Ecole Centrale Paris

Requirements:

• basic knowledge of French (2 years at college level) Students may register for intensive summer language courses in French, if necessary.
• excellent academic background
