The Cannes Film Festival Study Abroad offers two academic courses centered on the famed Cannes International Film Festival.
Students are strongly encouraged to study abroad and participate in domestic field studies as a part of their course of study. At Grady College, we feel that students who have a critical understanding of the global scope of Journalism and Mass Communication are set apart in their fields and we take pride in being able to provide these opportunities for students.

From travel writing to industry-leading advertising and entertainment strategies, each of our summer programs offer students an experience that strengthens their understanding of their major and/or helps them gain valuable skills that they otherwise couldn’t inside a normal classroom setting.
While each program offers courses in specific disciplines, students are not limited to participate in courses only within their major. Many of our Study Abroad and Field Study programs are open to students outside of Grady College majors (including undergraduate and graduate students) as well as students outside of the University of Georgia.
