Maastricht Center for Transatlantic Studies Program

General Information

MCTS is a consortium of several universities in the USA, UK, Australia, and others across Europe which come together to teach students home curriculums while abroad. MCTS is housed in Teikyo University. This building houses the actual MCTS center, the classes, and accommodation for student living. MCTS offers two semester-length programs, plus a one-month summer program each year.  

Mission Statement

The Maastricht Center for Transatlantic Studies seeks to encourage and promote a transatlantic perspective by providing faculty and students with a unique multicultural environment in order to aid their personal, professional, and academic development.

Furthermore, Maastricht is in the heart of Europe. It is very easy and convenient to travel from! For more information on travel opportunities from Maastricht.

Note for fall 2008 participants

The MCTS program is undergoing a transition that will ultimately result in the relocation of the MCTS program from Maastricht, Netherlands to Middelburg, Netherlands.

The MCTS program will be housed at Roosevelt Academy a true Dutch Institution.  The change will be effective starting this Fall 2008. As things are not finalized in Middelburg and probably can't be until early April, the decision was made to not increase the price for the fall. The price will remain 4400 Euros, which will include the students' housing, books, faculty support and to provide a meal stipend for each student. For the fall semester we are limited to a total of 25 students.  Applications will be taken on a first come basis.

Students will be allowed to choose one course from the Roosevelt Academy's offerings at the 200 or 300 level.  They will take this course semester-long and will then choose three other courses from the MCTS course offerings.  The MCTS board of directors is working as quickly as they can to get us a course schedule for the fall semester.  The calendar will change some as we need to match the calendar of Roosevelt Academy.  Dates will be posted as soon as the MCTS Board of Directors get confirmation from Roosevelt.  The dates would be very close to our traditional dates.  Once available the information will be posted in the MCTS website.
