The British Studies Program, now entering its third decade, is a residential summer session offered annually during July and August in London, England in cooperation with the University of Southern Mississippi. The purpose of this program is to promote a 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. While allowing participants ample free time for independent travel , the session offers graduate and undergraduate course work in a wide range of academic disciplines.
Participants enroll in six semester hours in the academic discipline of their choice.
Three of the semester hours are satisfied in a lecture course taught by eminent British scholars, artists, business leaders, and government officials complimented by field excursions and seminars supervised by American professors. The remaining three semester hours are satisfied by supervised research.
