The first four weeks of NSP orientation find the students liv- ing with Dutch families. Later they may choose to live in the Uilenstede Hospitium, the univer- sity apartments. The term involves a full course load under selected NSP instruc- tors. Intense Dutch language and literature studies are required. Optional courses deal with art and architecture, international marketing, Dutch culture and society, or history of the Netherlands and Belgium. Most class teaching begins in English and progresses to Dutch conversation. Field trips and free time to make new friends or travel to neighboring countries are also part of NSP. At the close of the session, students may qualify for the certifikaat Nederlands, a com- petence diploma that has aided several NSP participants in securing jobs with international companies. College sophomores, juniors, or seniors may apply for the annual Netherlandic Study Program. The cost is similar to a semester of U.S. college study, and scholar- ships are available.
