Every summer, the Geography Department and the College of Liberal Arts of the University of Texas at Austin sponsor a program at Oxford University in Oxford, England. The program provides an excellent opportunity for students of any major, and from any institution, to learn about a fascinating part of Europe. Students in the program live and dine in a historic Oxford college, within easy walking distance of the sights and activities of one of Europe's most interesting and exciting towns. Lectures and walking tours provide an understanding of the human geography of Oxford and nearby London.
Field trips provide an appreciation for the great variety of English landscapes.
Longer excursions may involve overnight stays in South Wales, Yorkshire, and Glastonbury. Faculty are happy to help students pursue their individual intellectual interests through customized field trips and programs of reading, when desired. Students have sufficient free time to explore on their own. HERE for extensive further information, photos, and application forms.
