In this London-based program, conducted since 1962 by the Economics Department, students spend the fall term in firsthand study and observation of economic life in Great Britain and the European community. Primarily, participants are economics concentrators who have strong academic records and personal qualities indicating the ability to work successfully in such a group. Their study is coordinated in seminars and independent work directed by a member of the department and planned as part of the regular Colgate program in economics.
British scholars serve as invited classroom lecturers.
Officials from industry, labor and government cooperate by participating in group interviews with students and by admitting students into their organizations for short-term internships. The program has a cultural activities component and normally includes field trips to Belgium and Luxembourg. Students live in apartments.
