ACN is part of the American university system and offers curriculum in English. The schedule and academic calendar follow the American system as well. Because American students are comfortable with this form of education, other cultural differences are then exciting and not overwhelming.

The American College of Norway is part of the American university system and offers curriculum taught in English by American faculty. Norwegian students choose ACN to gain one year of an American university education before heading to the United States to complete their U.S. bachelor’s degree at one of ACN’s cooperative partners or other universities throughout the United States. During their year at ACN, Norwegian students work one-on-one with ACN’s knowledgeable and committed staff to help them with course selection, applications, transferring, visa information and other important matters needed for their transition to the United States.

American and international students studying abroad at ACN make up about 20% of the student body. Collectively, 70 students are admitted to the program each academic year. This allows students to get to know their classmates and enjoy the intimate environment. Additionally, studying abroad at ACN allows American students to experience Norwegian culture and the daily excitement of living abroad while working toward completing their U.S. bachelor’s degree. Furthermore, ACN’s academic calendar and schedule follow the American system. Academically, ACN has worked hard to ensure that all of the course credits transfer back to the U.S. This results in cultural differences being exciting and not overwhelming when studying abroad at ACN.
