As it wants to offer a possibility for emersion in European culture to its american students, a European campus was necessary. Of course, the university in Angers will also be open for European students preparing their entry to an American university.
Angers houses a French catholic university institute called UCO (http://www.uco.fr) with which St. Edwards will be sharing some common courses.
20 American staff will come to Angers, Western France, and 20 will be recruited locally. Courses will start in September 2008.
