Information for Faculty
Consider proposing a course for the 2027 Tufts in Talloires Program!
The Tufts University European Center invites Faculty of all departments at Tufts University to consider proposing a course for the 2027 Tufts in Talloires program.
Tufts in Talloires is the European Center’s summer semester program in Talloires, France. For over 40 years, the Tufts in Talloires program has offered undergraduate students the opportunity to take Tufts classes from Tufts professors in an extraordinary Tufts environment. The program takes place at the historic Tufts European Center, an 11th century former Benedictine Priory founded in 1018, and located in Talloires, a small village in the foothills of the French Alps, on the banks of Lake Annecy, in the Savoy region of France, just an hour’s drive from Geneva, Switzerland. It is a truly remarkable setting, one that enhances both teaching and learning.
Faculty from all disciplines are welcome to propose a course for the 2027 Tufts in Talloires program. Proposed courses must offer approved undergraduate credit and must include a rationale for being taught in Talloires in the form of a thematic relation to Talloires, the Haute Savoie region, France, and/or the larger European Community.
Proposals will be evaluated by academic discipline. Ten courses will be selected, with representation across the Humanities, Fine Arts, Social Sciences, Engineering, and Natural Sciences, giving students and faculty across disciplines an opportunity to participate in the program. Students from all class years and disciplines select two from among the ten selected offerings.
Completed course proposals are due by 5 pm on Wednesday, October 14th, 2026.
