More on Vesalius College

Vesalius College was founded in 1987 to provide students with a quality and internationally-focused liberal arts education to prepare them for graduate school or to begin a successful career. The college was founded in association with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Boston University and maintains a strong relationship with the Université Libre de Bruxelles, enabling it to provide students with the best of both worlds: a tight academic community backed by the extensive academic resources of two major research universities.

 

Recognition: Vesalius College is registered with the Flemish government of Belgium as an institution of higher education.
