A unique opportunity to discover French/European « Agri-Culture »
The SSAP was created in 1995 to welcome American students from our US partner universities. Together, we designed this academic, multi-cultural program which has been continuously improved to match student wishes and academic requirements. Thanks to this, 760 students from many countries have lived this two-month international experience.
