Course Information:

The academic system at USAL is highly structured and local students take almost all of their courses with the same group of students throughout their degree. Although exchange students are able to pick and choose from all of the courses offered, USAL suggests that you try to take as many courses as possible from the same major and year in order to better integrate with your classmates. Class size ranges from 10 to 40 students per class and attendance is mandatory. Students must take a minimum of 5 courses per semester.

The academic year at USAL is divided into two semesters.

First semester: early March to early July

Second semester: late July to late November.
