Fall 2020 semester
For Fall 2020, McDaniel College is making preparations to re-open and conduct the customary academic semester beginning August 31. However, we are very aware of the exceptional situation and the uncertainty due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, in the event we are unable to open the semester in person in Budapest, we will conduct courses online for as long as need be. Under the difficult circumstances of the COVID-19 situation, the College has demonstrated that it is able to offer courses successfully when need be online, such as it is currently doing. In short, we are satisfied to note that we can approach the fall 2020 semester with maximum flexibility and will offer an academic life either in person on our Budapest campus or online.
Who we are
McDaniel College Budapest is a fully accredited American college located in the heart of Europe. The courses at McDaniel College Budapest are taught by a highly qualified and experienced faculty of American, British, and Hungarian professors, among others, who have held senior teaching positions both in the United States and in Europe. Successful completion of the entire four-year program results in the awarding of a Bachelor of Arts degree from McDaniel College. This degree prepares students for positions as professionals in business, banking, government service, the media, or in the arts. The campus is situated in a beautifully restored school building originally constructed in 1896. Students come from many different countries, but they have one thing in common – opportunities for a rich life outside the classroom and they quickly come to realize that the entire city of Budapest is a potential campus.
