RIT Croatia
RIT Croatia, formerly known as the American College of Management and Technology (ACMT) was established in Croatia in 1997 when the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia initiated the establishment of private higher education institutions. Due to its reputation in creating and maintaining successful international partnerships, one of the most prominent private American universities, Rochester Institute of Technology, was chosen as the best partner in these efforts.
The American College of Management and Technology in 2013 has changed its name to RIT Croatia in order to fully comply with the parent institution - Rochester Institute of Technology.

ECTS Points
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a tool of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) for making studies and courses more transparent and thus helping to enhance the quality of higher education.
ECTS is a learner-centered system for credit accumulation and transfer, based on the principle of transparency of the learning, teaching and assessment processes. Its objective is to facilitate the planning, delivery and evaluation of study programs and student mobility by recognizing learning achievements and qualifications and periods of learning.
ECTS credits express the volume of learning based on the defined learning outcomes and their associated workload. 30 ECTS credits are allocated to the learning outcomes and associated workload of a semester. One ECTS credit corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of work. Academic Year consists of two semesters and has 60 ECTS credits assigned.
