Academia Casus

Unlike the more open and "everyman" stripe of the Academy of Adventuring Arts, the Academia Casus of Eisen is the premier school of adventuring and magical arts for the noble class of Eisen. While the AAA will take nearly every applicant, admittance to the AC is strictly controlled and very elite.
The Academia Casus offers degrees in law, business, literature, medicine, and more. Programs are four years in length, though many students do stay longer if they want to study multiple subjects.
For those seeking education on adventuring arts or specialty skills, these classes are generally singular or a small run of two or three connected courses and students must be enrolled in a regular program to take these extra courses.
A sampling of available courses includes, but is not limited to:

Survival skills in the wilderness

Spell craft (particularly for wizards, sorcerers, etc)

Fighting skills for dangerous exploration areas

Common beasts of the wilderness

Animal handling

Herbalism and potion making

Many of these specialized classes are held with adjunct from the guilds as needed/necessary.

Structure

The college has typically been presided over by the "president," the current Duke of Arden, Gregory Wren. Beneath him, an elite admission board reviews candidates, approves professors, and sets the general tone of the campus. Almost universally, this university council is composed of the barons of Eisen.

Culture

Strictly elitest in its admission process, no one gets into the Academia Casus without noble blood or a noble sponsor. Those without noble blood who are lucky enough to be sponsored by a patron often find themselves as outcasts on the strictly traditional and hierarchical campus.
Despite its elite structure, the Academy does offer a solid education in standard core subjects, magical training, and martial training.

Public Agenda

To foster and train the next generation of Novandrian nobility.

Assets

With the backing of all the major families in Eisen, the Academy has tremendous resources and provides training and connections for its students.
