The modern center of the city, located to the north of the castle, boasts buildings over two hundred years old. This area is known as the 'New Town'. The students will enjoy exploring the finest assembly of Georgian architecture to be found anywhere in the world.
The two options for the ECA exchange semester are a Painting studio, or a studio in ECA's Intermedia program. KU Visual Art majors should have completed the KU Foundations courses (13 credits) and at least four of the introductory studio courses to be considered for the ECA spring semester exchange.
