USAC is an award-winning nonprofit international education provider. Since 1982, USAC has provided affordable, valuable study abroad programs that enable you to enhance your academics while providing opportunities and lessons that build interpersonal, time-management, problem-solving, and adaptability skills that will aid in your career development.
Programmatic themes: Each participant in the Maastricht program will choose from one of five programmatic themes (a bit like a "major" for your time in the program). You will enroll in one core course specific to your program’s theme, which combines strong academics with integrated field trips and experiential learning. (You can choose form two to three choices of core course within your theme.) At least half of your total course load must be selected from disciplines related to the program theme. You are then free to fill your course load of 24-32 ECTS (European system) credits (about 3 to 4 Gustavus courses) from those disciplines, or choose from over 350 courses in a wide variety of academic departments.
