Fall and Spring Offerings
Classes are taught by European faculty and often have a European focus. Many of the courses may spur incentive to visit the places you have studied in class.
For instance: Kafka and Prague, Michelangelo and Rome, La Langue Française et Paris, Shakespeare and London, and many other interesting historic sites. All classes are scheduled Monday mornings through Thursday late afternoons. Two academic excursions, under faculty guidance, may bring you to cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, or Madrid.
The castle campus is small and intimate, and contact with your teacher may extend beyond the classroom. Many castle professors may have a "funny accent" because they come from different national backgrounds. For instance: Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, etc. Be prepared that certain faculty members may not allow computers into class, so learn how to work with notebook and pen.
Course Load
All fall and spring students are required to take a full course load of 16 credits, plus a 1-credit, non-tuition course.
