Program Overview
In this program, you will complete an introductory biology class in molecular and cellular biology. The small class size makes it ideal for students who want to interact closely with the instructor, and a small cohort of peers, to discover the intricacies of the molecular processes needed to create a cell. An added benefit is that you will be studying this material in historic Leuven, Belgium! Leuven has been a university town since 1425 and is only 16 miles east of Brussels. Although the official language is Flemish, Leuven is a very English-friendly city, which makes it easy for students to interact with the local residents. In addition, every week we will visit exciting locations in Belgium, including Bruges.
