Romanian University Guidelines to Attract U.S. Students

•    While the long-term goals might legitimately be to promote joint research, offer joint degrees, have faculty exchanges, and have students take courses in Romania that can transfer back, etc., one first step is for Romania-US partner universities to engage in shorter-term programs together.  

•    Specially designed short-term, study-abroad programs can be arranged for as little as two to three weeks and can take place during a winter short semester, spring break, or in May when many U.S. universities are already out. They need not involve existing courses at first, although it is helpful for Romanian and American students to partner on some short-term project.
