While allowing participants ample free time for independent travel, the session offers undergraduate and graduate course work in a wide range of academic disciplines.
Participants enroll for six semester hours in the academic discipline of their choice.
Three of these semester hours are satisfied in a lecture course taught by eminent British scholars, artists, business leaders, and government officials complemented by field excursions and seminars supervised by American professors. The remaining three semester hours are satisfied by supervised research. Credit hours earned through the Program are awarded by The University of Southern Mississippi, a fully accredited institution of higher learning, and are transferable upon request. The purpose of the consortium is to promote a more profound understanding of British culture and society among students and faculty through scholarly and educational activities in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Housing in London British Studies Program students are housed in the King's College hall of residence located adjacent to Waterloo Station, near the Thames River and the South Bank Arts Complex.
