==History==
Chavagnes International College, and the Studium, occupy a building which was the first junior seminary in France after the Revolution.<ref>R.P. Yves Chaille, Histoire du petit séminaire de Chavagnes-en-Paillers</ref> The pursuit of religious and academic work goes back further, however, as there was a Benedictine foundation on the site from the 13th century.
 
===Founding===
Chavagnes was refounded as an International College in 2002, by a group of British teachers, but the plan to offer a degree level formation grew out of the experience of the ''Great Books Weeks'', begun in Chavagnes in 2009 by Professor Anthony O'Hear of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. The ''Great Books Weeks'' are week-long meetings devoted to the study of literature and history held at Chavagnes during the summer. These continue as the Chavagnes Studium Summer conference.
 
==Academics==
The new degree course will beis based on the intensive 2-year model perfected by the [[University of Buckingham]] in the UK. The content of the degree is particularly wide, but is the rough equivalent of a degree in comparative literature. Subjects studied include Literature, Mathematics, Science, History, Philosophy and Theology, French and optional Latin.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://chavagnes.org/studium/studies/ba-in-the-liberal-arts-with-french/overview/}}.</ref>
