The academic program at Harlaxton requires all students to take a British Studies course which covers history, philosophy, literature, and theology. At least twenty-five classes are offered in culture, literature, politics, sociology, and other disciplines. The faculty is a mix of British and American professors. HLG's McNutt, professor of English, spent the spring semester of 1993 teaching upper division literature courses at Harlaxton. He agreed with the authors that the setting and travel opportunities are what make the Harlaxton program one of the best.
Students receive the British experience with a bit of an American touch.
Students who have attended Harlaxton College say the exposure to a new culture has broadened their perspective on many things. McNutt said a Harlaxton representative will come to the HLG campus in October to speak to students of the honors program. In addition, the honors banquet in April will feature the Shakespeare professor from Harlaxton College.
