The American College of Norway (ACN) is a one-year program of university level studies in Norway, which leads to a U.S. bachelor’s degree.  Students who complete the program can apply to any U.S. university with our help or choose one of our partner universities. ACN’s cooperative partners are the University of North Dakota, Adelphi University, Southern New Hampshire University, Springfield College, West Chester University, Pace University, Hult International Business School, and Mayville State University.

ACN offers American university courses, taught in English by American faculty in a unique learning environment. Each year, 70 students are given the opportunity to join the program. Students can choose to be with us for a semester, year or summer program.
