The library system, like the university, is on the Internet, offering faculty and students access to international information systems. The Polish Language and Cultural Center at MCSU specializes in Polish language training for foreigners, while the campus also boasts an active Alliance Fran aise and a large British Council Office. The program is both an orientation and an intensive Polish language course that is useful in preparing students for the semester ahead. The Rutgers program at MCSU in Poland offers two academic options. Additionally, you must choose among regular courses in Polish language, literature, and history and attend an evening seminar with political, cultural, and social figures.
Regular courses meet three hours per week for fourteen weeks.
Service placements associated with the designated CASE courses are eight to ten hours per week for ten weeks. Although you may take all three CASE courses, you have only one service placement. Placements are arranged by individual professors at sites appropriate for their course. Economics placements might be with Solidarity or other unions or business-development organizations. Rutgers students are teamed with Polish classmates and act as Polish-American pairs doing service together.
