General Information about the Program (updated for 2007)
The Brooklyn College Department of English conducts an intensive summer program in London with the opportunity to study and travel during a five-week period, generally from the last week in June to the end of July or beginning of August. In 2007, the program will run from 28 June through 01 August.
The program integrates reading and coursework with the experience of living and studying in London, and includes a Shakespeare course and another focused on a period or genre of British literature. This program is especially valuable to students studying English literature, history, or theater. Classes meet Monday through Thursday mornings, leaving afternoons and weekends free. Frequent excursions and day trips are organized by the program's resident advisers, and students are encouraged to use the weekends to explore London and other parts of England. Limited trips to Continental Europe are also possible.
Program costs include: round trip airfare from New York to London; transportation between the airport in London and the dorm; private room at a University of London dormitory; daily breakfast; London Transport pass for unlimited travel on tube and bus lines in Central London; and admission to at least six plays, lectures, and tours. Tuition and student fees are not included in the program costs and must be paid separately.
