Located outside of Boston, Camulus Academy is a former collegiate school that was transformed into an academy in 2012, with its first class debuting in 2015-2016 tournament. It houses and extensively trains the international champions for the Tournament. Although it is essentially a school steeped in fighting traditions and more martial pursuits, Camulus strives to give students a real college experience by giving them an atmosphere that mimics it all while giving them proper battle and survival training. Education at Camulus Academy is a bit different than mainstream colleges. Students at Camulus, after four years, achieve a Specialized Battler's degree (henceforth known as an SB). It is an associate-level degree; however, due to hardship, battle training, and credit exemption, it is a specialized form of a bachelor's degree. Due to high levels of training, most students elect to complete their courses during the first three years of their education, with only a credit or two to complete in fourth year. It is known that although an SB is equated in some form to a Bachelor's, it's difficult to use unless you win or do extremely well in the Tournament. However, with the advent of special tutors (for those more academically-inclined) and other special opportunities that exist for Champions outside the realm of academia, the positives often outweigh the negatives. The battle classes at Camulus effectively take the place of the missing sixty credits to form the Specialized Battler's degree. The same rules to get a full bachelor's degree. An example schedule can be found here. Students at Camulus Academy are required to take: Two (2) Communications courses. One (1) Oral Communications course. Two (2) Humanities courses — one from Group A and Group B. Two (2) Behavioral/Social Science courses — one from Group A and Group B. Two (2) Natural Science courses — one from Group A and Group B. Two (2) Mathematics courses. One (1) Computers course. Eight (8) General Electives. For a total of twelve (20) courses or sixty (60) credits. Plus 60 credits worth of battle courses is 120 credits. communications (6 credits) ENC 1101 - English Composition 1 (3 credits)oral communications (3 credits) ENC 2300 - Advanced Composition and Communication (3 credits)humanities (6 credits) GROUP Abehavioral/social science (6 credits) GROUP Ascience (6 credits) GROUP Amathematics (6 credits) ALL STUDENTS MUST TAKE:computer science (3 credits) CGS 1060 - Introduction to Computers (3 credits)general elective (24 credits) Any approved general education course previously listed but not used to satisfy another general education requirement may be used to fulfill the elective credit. martial arts WINTER TERM (FALL & SPRING)metahuman WINTER TERM (FALL & SPRING)occult WINTER TERM (FALL & SPRING)technology WINTER TERM (FALL & SPRING)head mentors Head Mentors are able to fill in gaps in the schedule depending on their expertise, although they do tend to specialize in two or more sections of the curriculum. They also teach advanced and highly specialized classes — think of them as graduate-level seminar type classes — that they offer each semester. It is up to the discretion of each Head Mentor to create and offer up to three (3) specialized classes for juniors and seniors.*NOTE: Advanced Classes only available to juniors and seniors. | |||||||||
