The Goal of NECA Programs...

NECA is also committed...
to promoting cross-cultural studies by providing motivating, flexible, and high standard programs that meet U.S. university needs and standards.
In its aim to provide university students an enriching learning experience, NECA gladly welcomes the opportunity to develop unique and specialized study abroad opportunities together with U.S. university administrators and faculty.




Universities and Colleges...
can contact NECA's Director and submit their proposal for a year, semester, winter term, or summer program. NECA's experienced staff can provide personalized student assistance, centrally located academic facilities, cultural events and activities, orientation, and other logistical needs.

Visiting Professors...
are also welcomed to take advantage of the opportunity made available by NECA to accompany a group of students to Florence.

Individual Students...
may enroll in NECA programs directly and receive transfer academic credits through a transcript of Daemen College, NY, USA.
Transcripts will include course titles and numbers, grades, and credit hours, and they will be sent by the University Registrar directly to the student's home institution for transfer credit.
