Description: Spend Your Summer in the British Isles!

Earn up to 12 credits this summer while island hopping between England, Scotland and Ireland. During this six week program, students experience a summer full of fantastic literature, international studies and film; and equally great excursions. This is a perfect program for first-timers to international travel; culture, literature, or film buffs; or anyone wishing to earn a semester of credits while exploring historic locations. This study-travel course offers as much academic credit as a normal semester, but the experience is guaranteed to far exceed a typical semester.

Highlights: The first three weeks of the program are spent in Northern England in at Edge Hill University in the small town of Ormskirk. Frequent excursions in and around scenic Northern England enhance classroom work and allow students a truly British experience. Then it is off to the bustling city of London for a five day tour of sightseeing and exploration. Watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, take a ride on the London Eye for a spectacular view, see Big Ben and Abbey Road for the first time, or grab a friend and jump into the hopping music and club scene downtown.

Next, journey to Scotland for a week and see the sights at some of Scotland's famous locations. Explore the Scottish highlands including Inverness, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh or cruise Loch Ness to see if you can spy Nessie for yourself. The final week will be spent in Ireland. Tour the capital city of Dublin and other sites such as Trinity College, Sligo, the Yeats Memorial Building, Galway and the Aran Islands. Past Students come away from this program with one thing in common: a desire for more!

For students looking to only spend 4 weeks abroad there is the option to participate in the first portion of the program and leave for home before the group travels to Scotland and Ireland.
