Universities in Northern Europe for Americans?

<p>The University of Maryland offers courses in Europe (and elswhere in the world.) Most of those who take the classes–at least way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was young–were military members. A fair number of “dependents,” college age children of US armed forces members, also took the classes. The beauty of it is that you can transfer to UMaryland in the US and get full credit for your courses. </p>

<p>OOPS, sorry, it looks as if the student or a parent must be employed by the US government. I’ll leave the link just in case that applies, but see <a href=“http://www.ed.umuc.edu/undergrad/services/admissions.html[/url]”>http://www.ed.umuc.edu/undergrad/services/admissions.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Another option is the American U. in Paris. [Welcome</a> to The American University of Paris](<a href=“http://www.aup.edu/]Welcome”>http://www.aup.edu/) Or the American U. in Rome <a href=“https://www.my.aur.it/ics[/url]”>https://www.my.aur.it/ics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Then of course, there are the foreign colleges. One word of advice–remember that if your S gets his degree in Europe, he will not have the services of a career services office which will help get internships and jobs in the US. I don’t mean to emphasize this too much, but it is a consideration. </p>

<p>My understanding is that some of the Dutch schools offer classes in English. </p>

<p>St. Andrews, which has about 10% Americans in its student body, is also a good option.</p>
