University College Roosevelt (UCR), formerly known as Roosevelt Academy (RA), is a small, honors undergraduate liberal arts and science college located in Middelburg in the Netherlands and the sole university in Zeeland. It offers a residential setting, and is an international honors college of Utrecht University. It is named in honour of the Roosevelt family, which traces its ancestry to the province of Zeeland. The Roosevelt Academy, as it was then called, was established in 2004 by Hans Adriaansens, its founding dean. Prof. Adriaansens first experienced the ground principles of the liberal arts education during his brief time as a visiting professor at Smith College, USA, in the 1980–1981 academic year. He started to develop the idea of a small scale and academically intensive undergraduate college in the Netherlands, which led Adriaansens to the foundation of University College Utrecht in 1998, the first liberal arts college in the country. After the success of the first University College in Utrecht, Adriaansens started preparations for a sister college in his hometown, Middelburg. More information...
