Study Abroad - Programs
Winter 2003
London Centre
January 1, 2003 - February 7, 2003


Please note that the London Centre program accepts students on a rolling basis. We recommend that you apply early if you would like to be considered for acceptance.
Program Overview

The London Centre program offers broad exposure to London, its society, culture and art rather than focusing on a single theme. Students select two courses from art history, history and geography and participate in a broad range of excursions that include site visits, museums and theatre. The faculty director is a native Londoner, while the other instructors are British faculty members.

From ancient Roman ruins and Gothic cathedrals to steel and glass office buildings, Shakespearean drama to experimental pub theater, the thriving city on the Thames has something for everyone. Excursions outside London will include visits to Cambridge, Edinburgh and Bath (with a stop at Stonehenge). Accommodations will be in "flats" (apartments) that allow students to experience life as lived by Londoners.
Courses
Students must enroll in all courses for credit and a grade; pass/fail and audit registration is not permitted.

Honors credit may be available. Check with the faculty director and the Honors program for prior approval (before departure).

All students must enroll in 6 credits, as well as the 0-credit UNIV course.
