Description: Located at St. Mary's University College, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville's London Program is one of the few programs in London that mainstreams American students in a British university, including full academic facilities and British instructors in all courses, as well as extracurricular activities and student services (such as a health service and a counseling service).

With a total enrollment of about 3,200 students, St. Mary's occupies a single, self-contained campus, consisting of around 30 acres of lawns and playing fields near the River Thames. This picturesque site is surrounded by the quiet, leafy avenues of an attractive residential district, yet is only 35 minutes by shuttle-train from London's museums, concert halls, theatres, galleries and nightlife. You've got all the advantages of living in London--without the worries, the hassles and the expense.

University of Wisconsin-Platteville's Mission Statement: The Institute for Study Abroad Program's (ISAP) mission is to ensure access for students to quality study abroad programs that strengthen academic learning and promote intercultural understanding. In fulfilling the University of Wisconsin-Platteville's mission to "enable each student to become broader in perspective, ethically more sensitive, and to participate wisely in society as a competent professional and knowledgeable citizen," ISAP encourages and assists students who wish to participate in study abroad opportunities. Guiding Principles of ISAP: * Promote study abroad opportunities that are in keeping with the educational aims of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. * Provide study abroad opportunities with quality academic content and instruction, and appropriate evaluation of students. * Ensure that study abroad opportunities accommodate a wide range of disciplines. * Provide opportunities in diverse regions of the world. * Ensure that programs are well integrated into the local community, encourage immersion of the student into the local culture and encourage study of the local language, while affirming that the formal academic component of study abroad is retained. * Integrate study abroad into the student's academic program to the fullest extent possible, including developing the means by which returning students can actively contribute to international awareness and programming on campus. The Institute for Study Abroad Programs adheres to the NAFSA: AIE Code of Ethics and Statements of Principles in International Educational Exchange and also supports the "Responsible Study Abroad: Health and Safety Guidelines" developed by the Interorganizational Task Force on Safety and Responsibility in Study Abroad.
