Heidelberg Academic Program
During the 07-08 academic year, courses leading to the Business Administration and Sports Management majors as well as a selection of general education and elective courses will be offered to students who enroll, full time, in the Heidelberg Academic and Sporting Academy (HASA). Pending final approval Heidelberg will expand the initial year into a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and/or Sports Management.
Academy students are Heidelberg students and will be enrolled, registered, and held responsible for academic policies required of all students. Transcript and official records will be maintained on the Tiffin, Ohio campus and all courses offered at the HASA site are fully accredited and identical to those offered on the main campus and may be transferred to other accredited US public and private colleges and universities. All academic courses and soccer instruction are conducted in English.
The academic calendar will follow, as much as possible, the same academic calendar as HeidelbergТs Tiffin, Ohio campus. Students should plan to arrive in Belgium in mid-July for pre-season training and orientation sessions. Soccer season will begin in August and last until May, with a three week mid-winter break for over the Christmas period, December to early January. Games will be played once per week on a Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon.
