PFMP Study Tracks

Upon application, all PFMP students choose one of two study tracks: the full-time academic track or the summer institute track. All admitted PFMP students, regardless of study track, complete the professional internship.

Full-Time Academic Track
This is the on-campus graduate cohort, in which PFMP students typically live in or near Madison, take classes full-time and participate in networking events on the UW-Madison campus while here, and finish their coursework in two consecutive semesters, followed by their internship abroad. It is an extremely intensive full-time program that, in some cases (depending mostly on the nature and length of the internship), can be done in a single calendar year.

Summer Institute Track
This track has a built-in schedule of three years (two for the certificate), and is designed for teachers and working professionals who can attend at least two consecutive sessions of the Wisconsin French Summer Institute on campus, while studying part-time in various nontraditional forms during the academic year.
