Maastricht Center for Transatlantic Studies

The Maastricht Center (MCTS) was conceived in 1995 by representatives of twelve institutions across the United States, Mexico, and Europe, and offered its first teaching program in Spring, 1998. Its goal has been to provide a unique educational program based on the interactive relationship between peoples and cultures on both sides of the Atlantic. It is the first institution devoted to such a mission: no other study-abroad program offers such an opportunity for an international educational body to gather in one location to explore common problems through a variety of teaching disciplines. At a time when education and global perspectives are high on public and governmental agendas, the MCTS has already begun to attract national and international attention because of its unique mission and innovation.

MCTS offers two 4-week summer programs each year with a variety of courses from which students may choose.

Calendar for Summer 2008:

May block begins	5/12/2008
May block ends	6/04/2008
June block begins	6/09/2008
June block ends	07/04/2008
