Overview
CIC-Quebec: Laval University

Rising atop an immense promontory carved out of the Laurentian foothills, Québec City is basically a natural fortress. Québec City's extraordinary history and cultural wealth make it an ideal location for this summer program.

Located only six kilometers from the center of Québec City, the Université Laval is the oldest French-speaking institution of higher learning in North America. Founded in Québec City in 1852, the university moved to a new 500-acre campus in nearby Sainte-Foy in the late 1950's. With the main buildings connected by a network of underground tunnels, its modern facilities include a new sports arena, a student co-op, banking services, an excellent research library, modern audiovisual resources, attractive housing, and outstanding teaching facilities.
