Studying abroad can be a more meaningful and invigorating learning experience than at home—both inside and outside of the classroom. You may be more curious and alert than you usually are so use this heightened energy to enhance your studies as well as your cultural and geographical explorations. You may also encounter different teaching styles and course processes; be prepared to adapt and to learn.
Academics
USAC's partnership with Maastricht University allows you to focus your studies on the economic, political, and socio-cultural aspects of Europe and European integration, as well as health, science and psychology-related fields. All classes are taught in English and include exciting hands-on experiences, such as field trips, museum visits, seminars on location, and more. The program is split into two 3-week instructional blocks. You will take one course in each block, earning 12 ECTS (6 U.S. credits) from Maastricht University over the six-week program. The School of Business and Economics at Maastricht University is AACSB and EQUIS accredited.
