Study Abroad Spring 2010 London
Posted by Nigel on September 21, 2009 in Honors Experiences, Honors Program Announcements, Study Abroad
UB Study Abroad is pleased to announce the Spring 2010 semester program in London, led by Dr. Debra Street, a professor of sociology at UB. The program will be hosted and supported by CAPA (Centres for Academic Programs Abroad). The UB Semester Program in London has been developed by Dr. Street to provide students with an insider’s view of the UK from a sociological perspective.
Students will enroll in:
· 2 regular 3-credit courses that will present an in-depth and comparative analysis of social policy and the social organization of health care in the UK. These courses will combine classroom work with related site visits around London.
· an internship for 6 credits with an organization in London that closely matches their academic interests.
· an independent study for 3 credits in which students will pursue a topic of interest related to the course material, the internship, or another topic that fits with the contextual and geographic theme of the program.
These courses match existing UB courses in Sociology that can be used to fulfill requirements for majors and minors in Sociology and Interdisciplinary Studies. Interested students from other disciplines are welcome and advised to check with their departments about using these courses for major credit.
This program is a wonderful opportunity for UB students and we strongly encourage you to visit our website at www.buffalo.edu/studyabroad for more information about this program and to contact our office at studyabroad@buffalo.edu if you have any questions.
*** Given that this is opportunity incorporates Study Abroad, Internship and Independent Study elements it will count as 3 Experiences in fulfillment of your Honors requirements.***
