 University College Utrecht, Netherlands Natasha learned recently that she has been accepted to attend University College Utrecht (UCU) in the Netherlands. This is to study for the Bachelor of Arts or Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences. Founded in 1998, as the first university college in the Netherlands, UCU is part of Utrecht University. The UCU campus is home to 750 students with 70 different nationalities. The college encourages students to explore and design their individual curriculum cross-cutting Science, Social Sciences and Humanities, and to engage in extra-curricular activities. Indeed, at UCU students are able to compose their own multidisciplinary curriculum by combining courses from more than 20 academic disciplines, with around 230 different courses offered per year. According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities, “liberal education is an educational philosophy rather than a body of knowledge, specific courses, or type of institution. By drawing on a broad range of knowledge, it asks students to grapple with complicated, important issues, and usually expects them to learn about at least one subject in greater depth and at an advanced level. Intellectual growth occurs as both broad and deep learning challenge previously held beliefs.” www.uu.nl   Temple University, PA, USA Temple University has accepted Bernice to study for the Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice. As the largest university in one of the nation’s most iconic cities, Temple educates diverse future leaders from across Philadelphia, the country and the world who share a common drive to learn, prepare for their careers and make a real impact.

They also learn to evaluate the effectiveness and fairness of the ways in which society prevents, controls, and responds to crimes.
