Earning six academic credit hours, students choose one course from the list below; each course confers six hours of undergraduate or graduate credit. Southern Miss offers the courses through a consortium of 12 southeastern universities.
Courses Offered on British Studies are as follows:
The normal cost of the British Studies Program is $4,999 for undergraduate students. Undergraduate Golden Key members, however, may take part for $4,599 – a discount of $400. The credit hours from The University of Southern Mississippi – an accredited U.S. university – are normally fully transferable (check with your home institution regarding its requirements and processes for credit transfer) and, for U.S. university participants, financial aid is normally applicable to program costs. (Note: The program is open to Golden Key Members worldwide).
The British Studies Program provides an exceptional opportunity to earn U.S. academic credit in London while strengthening your knowledge of world affairs, developing an international perspective, and adding a global dimension to your résumé (not to mention visiting historic landmarks you’ve always dreamed of seeing).
Your home base will be King’s College in Central London, within easy walking distance of Waterloo Station, Trafalgar Square, and the theatre district. Field excursions enable students to explore the city and surrounding areas; students of Shakespeare, for example, attend plays and visit backstage at the Globe Theatre, journalism students hear from media experts at BBC headquarters, participants in the Legend of King Arthur course visit sites associated with Camelot, and WWII history students travel to the beaches of Normandy to follow in the footsteps of D-Day invasion forces.
