The River Danube flowsthrough the heart of the city dividing the twoprincipal areas of the capital: residential andhistoric Buda on the hilly western bank, andPest on the eastern bank, where most governmental,commercial and cultural institutionsare located. While studying in one of the world’smost hospitable cities, students will attendcourses at the ideally located, well-equipped,historic and spacious campus of McDaniel Europeon the Pest side.Hungary, with a population of 10 million, lies inthe very heart of Europe. Since May 1 2004, it hasbeen a member of the European Union. Othermajor European cities are within easy reach of Budapest.The climate in Hungary is temperate, andsunshine is a dominant feature, except for somerain and snow from November through January. Inwinter the temperature can sink as low as −10 °Cand in the summer rise above 30 °C.WESTMINSTER, MARYLAND, U.S.A.The 160-acre campus of McDaniel College overlooksWestminster, a charming and historic townin central Maryland. The campus has a strategiclocation: a short distance from two of the nation’smetropolitan centers. Baltimore, just 30 milesaway, is the home of major banking, shippingand communication industries. Washington,D.C., the nation’s capital, is a short hour’s drivefrom the campus. Both cities offer McDanielstudents exceptional opportunities for learning,internship and leisure.Of the 40 buildings on the campus, six arelisted on the National Historic Register.

Sinceeveryone speaks English, it is easy to makefriends, and learning about fellow students’ culturesand customs on a personal level becomes aneducation in itself. Each semester, a group ofstudents from the home campus of the college inMaryland come to Budapest for a study abroadsemester, which contributes to the special blendof the student body. The academic program inBudapest is enriched by courses taught by visitingprofessors from the main campus.Most graduates of the Budapest Campus lookback on the years spent here as a memorable anddefining experience which changed their lives.What graduates value most highly – apart fromthe quality of the academic program – is thefriendly, caring and stimulating atmosphere of thecollege. Although it is not mandatory for gradua-

4tion to spend some time at the home campus inMaryland, many students of the Budapest campusfeel that their education would not be completewithout the unique experience of becoming part ofa predominantly American student communityand making the best use of the excellent academicand internship opportunities in Maryland.THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OFHIGHER EDUCATIONKnown for its flexibility, the American system ofhigher education has several distinctive features.First, it provides a broader and more varied educationthan many other systems by giving itsstudents three kinds of courses: general coursesto fulfill competence requirements, requiredcourses within their chosen fields of study, andelectives, which students can choose from anydiscipline that interests them.Another characteristic of the American systemis that it continuously assesses studentsfrom the beginning, thus providing regulas feedbackto the students about their academic progress.This progress is measured in credit hours,of which a student must earn 128 at McDaniel tograduate with a Bachelor’s degree, the standardfirst degree in American higher education.One credit equals 15 hours of classroom instructionin a semester comprising 15 weeks, in otherwords, a four-credit course will involve at least60 hours of classroom instruction in one semester.Students satisfying all requirements for acourse and achieving a passing grade will earnfour credits for each course listed on the curriculumof McDaniel, unless otherwise indicated.Students are required to maintain satisfactoryacademic standing throughout their studies.The formal requirement for entry into anAmerican college is successful completion of secondaryor high school education, which meansabout twelve years of schooling altogether. Traditionally,a Bachelor’s degree can be attained infour years of study. In the American system, thefirst degree is a prerequisite for admissioninto any graduate (Master’s) program, orprofessional school (law, medicine, etc.)THE ACADEMIC PROGRAMThe academic standards and regulations, themajor and degree requirements of McDanielEurope in Budapest are identical with those ofthe main campus in the United States.

The minimum requirement for aminor is completion of at least 24 credit hours (sixcourses) in the given field. The dual major is apopular choice among students.
