The Basic Sciences program takes place during 15-week terms on the island of Sint Eustatius. Summer and winter breaks are short by U.S. standards, permitting three academic terms in any given calendar year. Students also have the option of completing their 5th semester in the United States, which further reduces students’ total time away from their home country.
The Basic Sciences consists of training in multiple disciplines taught in a 5-term format. Most courses are taught in double 50-minute blocks, 3-5 times per week. Training in some disciplines may span two terms.
For students needing extra preparation for the Basic Sciences program, the University offers an extended program involving an extra 4-month term of pre-basic sciences coursework (e.g., medical physics, chemistry in medicine.). To optimize learning, the courses in the extra term are taught in an integrated, clinically-relevant fashion.
