Affiliated Faculty Member | Kasteel Well

Emerson College offers a unique program of academic learning supported by exposure to European cultures, civilizations, and languages. Kasteel Well is home to 90 Emerson students for three months each fall and spring term. During the summer months the castle hosts shorter term summer programming.

Situated in the town of Well, Kasteel Well has a rich architectural heritage. Emerson College takes pride in all our castle buildings and strive to maintain their historic and cultural integrity, while providing a quality atmosphere conducive to the educational process. Students are an integral part in helping maintain our European campus. Moats and lush gardens contribute to the magic of this setting, while courses with a European focus provide the substance of serious academic pursuit.

Emerson challenges students to think and communicate with clarity, substance and insight. Its distinctive curriculum, founded in the oral tradition, integrates communication with the liberal arts and emphasizes a global perspective, rigorous academic inquiry, practical experience and the application of relevant communication technologies. Within a climate supportive of diversity, civility and freedom of expression, Emerson students become ethical, informed and articulate participants in society.

At Kasteel Well a strong emphasis is placed on academic performance and a well-rounded student experience. Study at Kasteel Well is combined with faculty-guided travel to explore the cultural and historical offerings of several major cities of Europe. Each term the required academic multi-day field trips will bring students to both Amsterdam, and to one other European capital: Prague, Rome, Madrid, Berlin, Milan, Dublin, or Barcelona. In future other cities may be selected. Students may also travel independently but are encouraged to find a good balance between academics and travel. Not travelling the full weekend or staying ‘at home’ certain weekends will not only be beneficial to the student’s academic performance, but will also save money and offer necessary rest, relaxation, and time for reflection. Mandatory informative travel meetings will be scheduled periodically throughout the semester.
