Depending on his/her interests, each student may select the courses he/she would like to take (See Course Descriptions ).
Semester Programs
Universitas curriculum features a wide variety of upper-level undergraduate courses including advanced language, literature, art, history, culture and sociology. The courses are developed to ensure advanced critical thinking and maturity of expression and are modified according to students’ levels of preparation and need.
Students can choose a maximum of five courses and/or an internship. Internships consist mainly of two options: volunteer cooperation with public and private local institutions, and teaching English in local schools (Primary and Secondary Education).
Independent Studies
A wide variety of independent projects are offered for students with a high level of language comprehension. These research projects are completed under the guidance of the Universitas Castellae professional team. Interested students are given the opportunity to take additional courses not included in the general curriculum and receive appropriate academic credit towards their particular major. Independent studies are always complemented with tutorials.
Tutorial Programs
Because foreign students face both language and cultural barriers, the program has been designed to accomodate their academic, social and cultural needs in the best way possible. Each student meets regularly with one of the Universitas Castellae professors – a personal tutor who helps solve the student’s academic problems as well as facilitates his/her adaptation to the foreign culture.
